[YOUR NAME] [YOUR SCHOOL / GRADE / SUBJECT] [DATE] Dear [PRINCIPAL'S NAME], I'd like to request professional-development support to attend the K12 Seminars Philadelphia Invitational (presented by Time To Teach / The Center For Teacher Effectiveness) — Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24, 2026, in the King of Prussia / Valley Forge area. WHY THIS TRAINING Friday is a full day of classroom management (the Time To Teach system — used by 400,000+ educators; Fresno County's office documented first-year suspension drops of 24-65% in trained schools). Saturday is student 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 SCHOOL - The Full Weekend ($499 early bird) includes 3 graduate credits from University of Massachusetts Global (regionally accredited, WSCUC) — that's 90 Act 48 hours, half of a five-year cycle, per PDE's 30-hours-per-credit conversion. - Because it's Friday-Saturday, it costs the building at most one substitute day — and zero if I attend Saturday only. - It's Title II-A eligible professional development, and the provider accepts purchase orders. - If 5+ of us attend from our building, every seat is $30 off — and the principal attends free as their guest. - 100% satisfaction guarantee: if it isn't worth it, the fee comes back. HOW TO PAY Purchase orders: call (800) 641-2068 or register online; the provider invoices the district directly and supplies W-9/vendor paperwork same-day. Card also accepted. Thank you for considering it — I'd be glad to share everything I bring back with the team. Sincerely, [YOUR NAME]
