Ask teachers what's hardest this year and the answers don't vary: behavior first, engagement second — 75% and 70% in EdWeek's 2026 survey. This weekend was built for exactly those two answers, by people who've spent thirty years proving what works in rooms like yours. SOURCE: EDWEEK RESEARCH CENTER, 2026
WHAT THIS WEEKEND IS WORTH · IN PENNSYLVANIA
Half your entire five-year requirement. One weekend.
1 SEMESTER CREDIT = 30 ACT 48 HOURS (PDE) → 3 CREDITS = 90 OF YOUR 180
Newer PA teachers: Level I converts to Level II on 24 post-baccalaureate credits from a regionally accredited, degree-granting institution — these UMass Global graduate credits qualify.
And your paycheck: most PA salary schedules advance on graduate credits. The same three credits that renew your certificate can move your lane — permanently.
Credits are awarded by University of Massachusetts Global (regionally accredited, WSCUC). One price, one checkout — we handle your university enrollment, exactly as documented on UMass Global's Time To Teach partner page. After your grade posts, the official transcript goes to PDE; we walk you through the two-minute request.
Your seminar manual is your textbook — 200+ pages, included, not sold in any store.

FROM SIGNED SEMINAR EVALUATIONS
"As a counselor, I am particularly impressed with teaching behaviors and approaching management as a whole school."
Helene Fullmer · School Counselor · Weymouth Township, NJ
"Having the students respond the first time will be nice. Having more time to teach will be great."
Teacher · Pleasantville, NJ
"I fully buy in. Refocus after one prompting is ideal… documentation without giving up more teaching time."
Gary Wesley Cone · 8th Grade LA/SS · Warsaw, NC
"After a rough year with many high-needs students, I feel refreshed and inspired… eager to try many new things I learned today."
Jennifer Horne · Special Education · Ripley, WV

QUESTIONS TEACHERS ACTUALLY ASK
Attend the full seminar, then apply it: three practical classroom activities per credit, written up simply, plus short readings from your Resource Manual — your manual is your textbook. Six months, your schedule. We enroll you with UMass Global; you do the classroom part.
Saturday's course prints as "Differentiated Instructional Strategies" — the university's title for the Student Engagement & Motivation program. Friday's prints as Classroom Management. Same course, same credits, zero surprises for your HR office.
After your grade posts, request the official transcript — UMass Global sends it directly to PDE, and PDE adds the 90 hours. Applying toward Level II? The same credits can be applied to your Act 48 record too. We'll show you both steps.
It was built with the hardest ones. Suspensions and referrals have dropped measurably in urban, suburban, and rural schools running this system — Fresno County's office documented suspension drops of 24–65% in year one. School-by-school record: timetoteach.com/results.
Yes — purchase orders welcome, and many teachers use Title II-A professional development funds. Grab the Get It Funded kit: a ready letter for your principal with the PA math filled in. Teams of 5+ save $30 a seat and bring the principal free.
Included: the full day(s), Resource Manual(s), continental breakfast and all-day coffee, same-day CEU certificate — and on the Full Weekend, the 3 graduate credits with enrollment handled. Lunch is on your own, with a real break and plenty nearby.
