Your questions, answered.

Time To Teach® is a professional development organization founded in 1993 that delivers research-based training for K-12 educators. Our flagship program is Classroom Management — a five-component system that reduces office referrals, improves teacher retention, and builds campus-wide consistency. We also offer trainings in Student Engagement & Motivation, Educator Safety & Security, AI for Teachers, and Culturally Responsive Teaching. We work in all 50 states and 14 countries, and nearly all of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals.

The most common feedback we hear: "This is the best training we've ever had." What makes it different? First, every trainer comes directly from the profession — classroom teachers and school leaders who have lived the challenges your staff faces. Second, the content is immediately applicable — strategies educators use the very next morning, not a six-month implementation plan. Third, and most importantly, we build a system, not a list of tips. When every adult in the building uses the same framework, behavior changes campus-wide — and that consistency is what creates lasting results.

Yes — and that's one of the things that makes us different. Time To Teach® is designed to enhance every program you already have, not replace it. Where PBIS, MTSS, and restorative practices give you a framework and philosophy, Time To Teach® gives your staff the specific, practical, day-to-day tools and language to make those frameworks work. Many schools tell us that after Time To Teach® training, their PBIS or restorative practices implementation improved significantly because their staff finally had the foundational skills to implement it well.

For maximum campus-wide impact, we recommend training all staff who interact with students — classroom teachers, school leaders, instructional coaches, paraprofessionals, support staff, athletic coaches, and volunteers. The power of this system comes from consistency: when every adult in the building responds the same way, students can't find the gaps. That said, we can absolutely train specific groups — a teaching staff, a leadership team, or a department — and we'll customize the delivery accordingly.

Pricing depends on several factors: the training topic, your group size, location, and whether you're bringing a trainer to your campus or pursuing Train-the-Trainer certification. We work with schools and districts of all budget sizes and do our best to fit your needs. Rather than publish a rate card, we prefer to give you a tailored quote so you know exactly what you're getting and why. Request a quote and we'll respond within 24 hours with options and pricing specific to your situation.

Absolutely. We work with all standard school and district payment processes — Purchase Orders, invoices, credit cards, and ACH. Just mention your preferred payment method when you request a quote and we'll accommodate it. We understand procurement timelines and can work within them.

We work around your existing PD calendar, not in addition to it. On-site training typically runs one full day (or two days for deeper implementation). Train-the-Trainer certification is a two-day intensive. We're flexible on scheduling — many schools build this into existing PD days, staff development days, or back-to-school planning time. We'll work with whatever your calendar allows.

Yes. Virtual delivery is live and interactive — not recorded webinars. With breakout rooms, role-play practice, and direct trainer interaction, virtual delivery provides the same content and outcomes as in-person training, with the convenience of no travel. It's particularly well-suited for distributed staff, smaller groups, or situations where bringing everyone together isn't practical.

The Train-the-Trainer program certifies one or more of your own staff members to lead Time To Teach® training internally. It's a two-day intensive certification that qualifies them to train your staff for two years. This means you can onboard new teachers, refresh existing staff, and build a consistent behavior culture without bringing an outside trainer back every time. Your certified trainer is supported by our team throughout — they're never alone in this. For schools investing in long-term capacity building, this is often the most cost-effective and impactful pathway.

Yes — and we recommend it. Sending a team (a school leader, instructional coach, and lead teacher, for example) creates the buy-in, accountability, and momentum needed for strong school-wide implementation. When leadership and teachers go through certification together, the rollout at your campus is dramatically more effective. Contact us to discuss group options.

Results vary by school, but the data from our partner schools is consistent and compelling: office referrals typically drop 30-62%, suspensions decrease significantly, teacher job satisfaction improves, and academic performance follows. Some schools see dramatic results within six weeks. Others take a full semester to fully implement the system and begin seeing the numbers shift. The key variable is consistency of implementation — the more completely the staff adopts the system, the faster and more dramatic the results.

We stand behind our training completely. If your school isn't satisfied with what we deliver, we'll make it right. We've maintained this commitment for 30+ years — the system works, and we stand behind it. In practice, we have never had a school ask for their money back, but we want you to know the commitment is there.

Yes — optional graduate-level credit is available through UMass Global for qualifying trainings. Up to 4 credits for Classroom Management, up to 3 for Student Engagement & Motivation, and credit options for AI for Teachers. Credit requires an additional fee paid directly to UMass Global and completion of a follow-up practicum project. Ask about this when you request a quote and we'll make sure you have all the details.
