Dear [PRINCIPAL'S NAME],

I'd like to request professional-development support to attend the K12 Seminars
Michigan Invitational (presented by Time To Teach / The Center For Teacher
Effectiveness) — a two-day classroom management + student engagement weekend at
[Oakland Schools, Waterford / Kent ISD, Grand Rapids]; date announcement coming.

WHY THIS TRAINING
Day one is the Time To Teach classroom management system (400,000+ educators
trained; documented first-year suspension drops of 24-65% in Fresno County's
trained schools). Day two is engagement and motivation with Eric Combs, 2006 Ohio
Teacher of the Year. One sentence about my classroom this year: [ADD YOUR SENTENCE].

WHAT IT'S WORTH TO OUR DISTRICT
- Michigan law (MCL 380.1526) requires teachers in their first three years to
  receive 15 days (90 hours) of induction professional development — and the
  statute specifically names classroom management and regional seminars conducted
  by master teachers. This event is exactly that format. State mentoring-and-
  induction grant funds flow to districts for this requirement.
- The Full Weekend ($499 early bird) includes 3 graduate credits from University
  of Massachusetts Global (regionally accredited) — half of a Michigan renewal's
  6-semester-credit path, and unlike SCECHs, credits also advance salary lanes.
- Weekend format = zero substitute coverage for Saturday attendance.
- 5+ staff from one building: $30 off every seat, principal attends free. POs
  welcome; 100% satisfaction guarantee.

HOW TO PAY
Purchase orders: call (800) 641-2068; the provider invoices the district and
supplies W-9/vendor paperwork same-day. Card also accepted.

Thank you for considering it — I'll share everything I bring back.

Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
