YOUR STATE'S MATH · CHECKED AGAINST STATE SOURCES

What one Saturday is worth where you teach.

PENNSYLVANIA · ACT 48

4 credits = 120 Act 48 hours, two-thirds of your five-year requirement.

PDE: 1 SEMESTER CREDIT = 30 ACT 48 HOURS · REQUIREMENT: 180 HOURS OR 6 CREDITS PER 5 YEARS

Credits from accredited colleges and universities count, and UMass Global's official e-transcript goes straight to PDE. Newer teachers: Level I converts to Level II with 24 post-baccalaureate credits from a regionally accredited, degree-granting institution. These generally qualify (confirm with your district), and the same credits can go on your Act 48 record. Most Pennsylvania salary schedules also advance on graduate credits.

MICHIGAN · RENEWAL AND THE NEW-TEACHER LAW

4 credits = two-thirds of your renewal, and they move your pay, which SCECHs can't.

MDE: RENEW WITH 6 SEMESTER CREDITS (REGIONALLY ACCREDITED) OR 150 SCECHS, OR A COMBINATION

SCECHs renew your certificate but don't advance your salary lane. In most districts, graduate credits do both. For districts: MCL 380.1526 requires at least 15 days of professional development during each new teacher's first three years, and the statute names classroom management and regional seminars conducted by master teachers. State mentoring and induction grant money goes to districts for this.

OHIO · FIVE-YEAR RENEWAL

4 credits = two-thirds of your five-year renewal, plus salary-lane value in most districts.

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 for approval. Unlike contact hours alone, graduate credits also count toward salary-lane advancement in most districts.

COLORADO · SEVEN-YEAR RENEWAL

4 credits = 60 contact hours, two-thirds of your seven-year renewal.

CDE: 1 SEMESTER HOUR = 15 CONTACT HOURS · REQUIREMENT: 90 HOURS OR 6 SEMESTER HOURS PER 7 YEARS

Colorado educators self-certify alignment, and this training fits school culture and climate and student safety and well-being. At least 10 of your 90 hours must cover special education and behavioral health, so plan your mix. Graduate credits also advance salary lanes in most Colorado districts.

Teaching somewhere else? The credits come from a regionally accredited university, so they travel. Call (800) 641-2068 and we'll go through your state's rules with you. Salary-lane acceptance is set district by district, so one email to HR before you enroll settles it.

CREDIT QUESTIONS · ANSWERED STRAIGHT

The fine print, in plain words.

How much work is the practicum, honestly?

For 4 credits: 12 classroom activities you run with your own students, each written up in about one single-spaced page (what you did, your objectives, how you assessed it, and what you would change), plus 10 one-page writing assignments from your Resource Manual. It's due six months after the seminar. Most teachers spread it across the weeks after the Saturday.

Can I take fewer than 4 credits?

Yes. Choose Seat Only ($249 early bird) and add 1, 2, or 3 credits at checkout: $110 for the first and $100 for each one after. If you want 3 or 4, Seat + 4 Graduate Credits costs less, with all 4 included.

Is UMass Global legitimate for my district?

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.

What will my transcript say?

Classroom Management, from University of Massachusetts Global. That's the title your HR office will see.

Does live virtual attendance count?

Yes. UMass Global treats the live virtual seminar the same as attending in person. Attend the full session.

What if I don't finish the practicum?

You keep everything else: the training, the manual, and the CEU certificate. Credits post only when the coursework is done, and we'll remind you before the window closes.

Rick Dahlgren leading a working session

Working sessions, not sit-and-get. That's why the credits mean something.

Read the official course requirements yourself: Classroom Management (UMass Global, PDF). Every assignment and the classroom practicum, in the university's own words. Parts of this UMass Global sheet still describe 1 to 3 credits. The 4-credit row (12 activities and 10 writing assignments) is the one that applies to you.

HAVE A WHOLE STAFF? · WE COME TO YOU

Would you rather we came to you?

A seminar is how one teacher gets the system. When the whole building needs it, we bring the training to your campus. There are three ways to do it.

Train your entire staff

We bring the full training to your campus on your PD day. Every teacher learns the same plan and the same language. The documented turnarounds on this site started this way.

Train your trainers

We certify your own people to deliver the program, so new hires get it every year without booking us again.

Send a team to a Saturday

Five or more seats from one building takes $30 off every seat, and the principal attends free as our guest.

How it usually starts: one teacher finds this page, the principal asks a question, and one quote later the whole building trains together.
