CHALLENGE 7

The Final Sprint

GRAND PRIZES

As we wrap up the final 2 challenges, here are more details on the End-of-Summer GRAND PRIZES we’ve been promising! You don’t need to do a thing, but...

  1. Once the Challenges wrap up on August 27, we will enter EVERY participant’s name from Challenges 1 - 8 back into a drawing for our Grand Prizes
  2. You will be entered one time for each Challenge you completed and submitted. For example, if you entered the drawings for Challenges 1, 6, and 7, you will be entered into our Grand Prize drawing three times.
  3. We will draw TEN grand prize winners. Each of the 10 grand prize winners will get to choose 1 prize from these 3 options:

FINE PRINT:
  1. You must be an active classroom teacher with a verified NGPF teacher account
  2. All hours must be completed during this cohort -- August 7 through August 27, 2021. You cannot count hours earned outside that time frame.
  3. Because we grade On-Demands on a rolling basis, your On-Demand credits do not show up instantaneously; they are bulk uploaded periodically. If you're confident you've met the On-Demand module requirements and other requirements of the Challenge, please complete the form before your On-Demand credits show up in your My NGPF Academy.
  4. NGPF will run 8 Challenges this summer, and you can enter 1, all 8, or somewhere in between
    1. Participants must submit a google form for EACH Challenge they complete before the deadline to be eligible.
    2. You must complete DIFFERENT hours for each Challenge. For example, you can’t re-use the same participation hours from Challenge 4 in Challenge 7.
    3. For example, if you do Challenge 7 (6 hours of On-Demand), you should complete the form one time. You are welcome to enroll in PD beyond that 6 hours, but you cannot re-enter the Challenge 7 drawing. One entry per Challenge per person.
  5. If you win a swag pack in a Challenge, you are still eligible to win a grand prize at the end of summer, so keep completing Challenges and entering the drawings for each Challenge.
  6. Note that you do NOT need to complete a form for the Grand Prize drawings. We will pool all previous Challenge 1-8 submissions into that raffle automatically.
  7. Challenges run concurrently with NGPF Academy, and your Challenge hours will count toward your 2021-2022 Academy hours and the normal prizes for that program.
