[YOUR NAME] [YOUR SCHOOL / GRADE / SUBJECT] [DATE] Dear [PRINCIPAL'S NAME], I'd like to request professional-development support to attend the K12 Seminars Columbus Invitational (presented by Time To Teach / The Center For Teacher Effectiveness) — a two-day classroom management + student engagement weekend, spring 2027, Columbus metro; 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 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 - The Full Weekend ($499 early bird) includes 3 graduate semester hours from University of Massachusetts Global (regionally accredited, WSCUC) — half of Ohio's five-year renewal requirement (6 semester hours = 18 CEUs = 180 contact hours per the State Board's conversion). Course documentation is provided for my LPDC/IPDP. - Unlike contact hours alone, graduate credits also count toward salary-lane advancement. - Weekend format = zero substitute coverage for Saturday attendance; Title II-A eligible; POs welcome; 100% satisfaction guarantee. - 5+ staff from our building: $30 off every seat, and the principal attends free. 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]
