Working sessions, not sit-and-get — that’s why the credits mean something.
Every other seminar company sends you to the university with a second bill and a second enrollment. Our Full Weekend includes 3 graduate-level credits from University of Massachusetts Global — a regionally accredited university (WSCUC), the same accreditation standard as any state university — with the enrollment handled for you.
HOW IT WORKS · IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
Transcript titles, no surprises: Friday's course prints as Classroom Management. Saturday's prints as Differentiated Instructional Strategies — the university's title for the Student Engagement & Motivation program. Same course, same credits.
YOUR STATE'S MATH · VERIFIED AGAINST PRIMARY SOURCES
PENNSYLVANIA · ACT 48
3 credits = 90 Act 48 hours — half your five-year requirement. Stack to eight credits (four per day across the two sessions) and you're at 240: the whole cycle, with 60 hours banked.
PDE: 1 SEMESTER CREDIT = 30 ACT 48 HOURS · REQUIREMENT: 180 HOURS OR 6 CREDITS PER 5 YEARS
Credits from accredited higher-ed institutions count; UMass Global's official e-transcript goes straight to PDE. Newer teachers: Level I converts to Level II on 24 post-baccalaureate credits from a regionally accredited, degree-granting institution — these qualify, and the same credits can be applied to your Act 48 record. Most PA salary schedules also advance on graduate credits.
MICHIGAN · RENEWAL + THE NEW-TEACHER LAW
3 credits = half your renewal, and eight — the two-day maximum — is a complete renewal with two toward your lane. They also move your pay, which SCECHs can't.
MDE: RENEW WITH 6 SEMESTER CREDITS (REGIONALLY ACCREDITED) OR 150 SCECHS — COMBINABLE
SCECHs renew your certificate but don't advance your salary lane; graduate credits do both. For districts: MCL 380.1526 requires every new teacher's first three years to include 15 days — 90 hours — of induction PD, and the statute names classroom management and regional seminars conducted by master teachers. State mentoring-and-induction grant money flows to districts for exactly this.
OHIO · FIVE-YEAR RENEWAL
3 credits = half your five-year renewal — plus salary-lane value.
STATE BOARD CONVERSION: 6 SEMESTER HOURS = 18 CEUS = 180 CONTACT HOURS
Employed Ohio teachers route renewal through their LPDC and IPDP — most accept regionally accredited graduate credit outright, and we provide the course documentation to make approval a rubber stamp. Unlike contact hours alone, graduate credits also count toward salary-lane advancement in most districts.
COLORADO · SEVEN-YEAR RENEWAL
3 credits = 45 contact hours — half your renewal — and the full eight across both days finishes the entire five-year renewal with two to spare.
CDE: 1 SEMESTER HOUR = 15 CONTACT HOURS · REQUIREMENT: 90 HOURS OR 6 SEMESTER HOURS PER 7 YEARS
Colorado educators self-certify alignment — this training maps cleanly to school culture & climate and student safety & well-being. Heads-up on the state rule: at least 10 of your 90 hours must include behavioral-health and special-education topics, so plan your mix. Graduate credits also advance salary lanes in most Colorado districts.
Teaching somewhere else? The credits are from a regionally accredited university, so they travel — call (800) 641-2068 and we'll talk through your state's rules together. Salary-lane acceptance is always set district-by-district; when in doubt, one email to HR before you enroll settles it.
CREDIT QUESTIONS · ANSWERED STRAIGHT
Three practical classroom activities per credit — things you'd want to try anyway — written up simply, plus short manual readings. Two- and three-credit courses add a brief written component. Six months to finish, on your schedule. It's professional development you apply, then document.
It's a regionally accredited university (WSCUC) — the same accreditation category as your state's public universities — and the Time To Teach partnership is documented on the university's own website. Districts see these transcripts regularly.
Yes — up to 4 graduate credits per day's course at checkout. The Full Weekend simply includes 3 in the price, which is why it's the deal.
You still keep everything else — the training, the manual, the CEU certificate. Credits post only when the coursework's done, and we'll nudge you before the window closes.

HAVE A WHOLE STAFF? · WE COME TO YOU
Seminars are how one teacher gets the system. When it’s a whole building that needs it, flip the model — three ways, your pick.
Our on-site 2+1 model brings the training to your campus — every teacher, same playbook, same language. The documented turnarounds on this site started exactly this way.
We certify your own people to deliver the program, so the capacity lives inside your building — new hires, new school years, no re-booking us.
Not ready for campus-wide? Five or more seats from one building takes $30 off every seat — and the principal attends free as our guest.
