Just Added: Two Steps Closer to Your Fall PD Passport

We have an update about our On-Demand Library renovation: we have two new modules! We wanted to share them with you, but also shed some light on our thinking process for the two modules. These modules are live and ready for you to explore! 

Keys to Confident Car Buying

Buying a car is one of the biggest purchases a young adult will make.
This module walks you through:

  • Evaluating needs vs wants
  • Setting a realistic car budget
  • Navigating the buying process
  • Exploring financing options
  • Decoding those sneaky dealer add-ons

With this module, we wanted to walk you through the car buying process. The module helps you understand the different parts of the car-buying process and might even unlock some memories! Whether you’re preparing to teach car ownership or looking to better understand the market yourself, this module puts you in the driver’s seat. (PS: this pairs well with our new lesson)

 

Emerging Trends in Teen Finance

Teens and young adults are facing a lot of new trends in the personal finance world. Influenced by social media and constantly being online, these trends can grow.
This module explores:

  • Frauds & scams
  • Gambling & sports betting
  • Cryptocurrency
  • Adulting milestones

 

With this module, we wanted to explore some trends in personal finance that teens and young adults are facing. It is a continuously changing landscape and even some generational things, like adulting milestones look different for this generation. It’s a timely snapshot of how Gen Z engages with money, and how you can bring those topics into your classroom.

 

Don’t Forget: Fall PD Passport

Complete 3 On-Demand modules between October 1 and December 31, 2025 and you’ll unlock the Fall PD Passport, a limited-edition digital badge on My NGPF Academy page.

 

It’s the perfect time to refresh your content knowledge and earn a little digital swag. Start with these new modules or browse the full On-Demand library!
