Save My Seat · $499Ask teachers what's hardest this year and the first answer is student behavior. 75% of educators named it a top challenge in the EdWeek Research Center's 2026 national survey. This Saturday is built around that answer, by people who have spent thirty years proving what works in rooms like yours. SOURCE: EDWEEK RESEARCH CENTER
THE SATURDAY · WHAT THE DAY COVERS
Every tool below is in your Resource Manual, and you practice each one before you leave. Rick teaches it as a working day, not a lecture.
Pick up your 200+ page Resource Manual and find your seat.
Rick starts with why classroom management needs its own training and the five core beliefs Time To Teach is built on. Then the teaching styles, and the authoritative middle path between too strict and too soft: give the choice, and honor the choice.
Seating, lighting, color, scent, and music, set up on purpose. Then ten ways to build rapport with students, including the ones who test you first.
Teach a behavior expectation the way you teach any other lesson, step by step, so you stop explaining it again every day. The Teach-Tos book has one hundred of them written out.
Short, calm responses that end a challenge without a debate, plus four early intervention strategies that stop small disruptions before they spread.
The respectful consequence that replaces repeated warnings. One prompt, then Refocus, the same way every time. You practice the steps out loud until they come without thinking.
The steps for responding to an emergency situation, and how a school builds one discipline plan that every adult in the building uses.
A plan for Monday morning, your Resource Manual, a same-day CEU certificate, and your 4 graduate credits started.
You practice every tool with other teachers before you leave.
WHO TEACHES IT
Rick Dahlgren founded the Center For Teacher Effectiveness and built Time To Teach on one idea: teaching succeeds where punishment fails. More than 400,000 educators in all 50 states have trained in the system over thirty years.
Rick still teaches it the way he designed it. You practice every tool in the room, out loud, until it feels like yours, and you leave with fewer warnings to give and more minutes to teach.
Seeing this for your whole staff? We come to you, with full-staff training and train-the-trainer certification that keep this system in your building. Request a quote → or call (800) 641-2068. We answer within two hours on weekdays.
WHAT THIS IS WORTH · IN PENNSYLVANIA
Two-thirds of your five-year requirement, from one Saturday and the practicum.
PDE: 1 SEMESTER CREDIT = 30 ACT 48 HOURS → 4 CREDITS = 120 OF YOUR 180
Newer Pennsylvania teachers: Level I converts to Level II with 24 post-baccalaureate credits from a regionally accredited, degree-granting institution. These credits qualify, and the same credits count on your Act 48 record. Most Pennsylvania salary schedules also advance on graduate credits, so one set of credits can renew your certificate and move you on the salary schedule.
Credits are awarded by University of Massachusetts Global, a regionally accredited university (WSCUC), and we handle the enrollment for you. The partnership is documented on the university's own Time To Teach partner page. Your transcript reads Classroom Management. Full guide: credits by state.

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
"I fully buy in. Refocus after one prompting is ideal, 3...2...1...magic is not a good idea. Consistent Refocuses are a must and a great way to manage minor behaviors without escalation."
Gary Wesley Cone · 8th Grade LA/SS · Warsaw, NC
"This was not a 'fluffy,' 'sugar-coated' workshop that wasted time. I honestly am looking at my teaching methods and procedures in a different and new way."
Lauren McMahon · 4th Grade · Greenville, NC
QUESTIONS · ANSWERED STRAIGHT
After the Saturday you complete a practicum for UMass Global: 12 activities you run with your own students, each written up in about a page, plus 10 one-page writing assignments from your Resource Manual. It's due six months after the seminar, and your manual is the textbook.
Classroom Management, from University of Massachusetts Global, a regionally accredited university (WSCUC). That's the course title your HR office will see.
With Time To Teach, the Fresno County Office of Education reported suspensions down 24% in elementary schools, 53% in middle schools, and 65% in high schools. At Garfield Elementary in Montana, students reading at or above grade level went from 34% to 98% in three years.
Yes. Choose purchase order at checkout and we hold your seat while the paperwork moves. The Get It Funded page has a ready letter for your principal with your state's credit math filled in.
If we move a seminar for weather, you choose: transfer to the new date or take a full refund.
Full refunds up to 10 days before the seminar, and you can send a colleague in your place anytime.
FULL-STAFF TRAINING · TRAIN-THE-TRAINER · REQUEST A QUOTE
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.
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.
We certify your own people to deliver the program, so new hires get it every year without booking us again.
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.
