Process for Enrolling in a Class

TPRS Books & The University of Pacific

TPRS Books collaborates with the University of the Pacific (UOP) to offer educators an opportunity to earn graduate-level university credits from taking TPRS® training and courses. We make this process convenient and affordable through our partnership with UOP.

Additional cost of $62 per credit

TPRS Books will help you enroll in TPRS® courses designed to boost your professional growth. UOP is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Registrar’s Office at UOP

All the courses you’ll take through us will appear on an Official Transcript from the Registrar’s Office at UOP. You can use your earned credits to meet your salary advancement or recertification requirements.

Educators attend our TPRS workshop sessions before enrolling in our courses

The time you’ll spend in workshops — from reading TPRS books and taking down notes to developing new activities based on what you’ve learned in the workshop — can be documented and submitted as part of your coursework completion.

Pre-approval before enrolling in our
TPRS® courses

Please note that some school districts require pre-approval before enrolling in our TPRS® courses. Make sure to know your district’s policies about off-campus training and workshops.

Log of Hours

Create a PDF, JPEG, or Word Document including a log of hours documenting the time you spend creating activities, projects, strategies, or techniques as a result of participating in a workshop session related to TPRS. You may also modify, change or adapt as well as incorporate original ideas to meet your professional needs.

Creating your own log allows you the freedom of documenting all the time and effort you have dedicated to completing your final objectives. Your log must be specific and include dates with times and accomplishments. For each graduate-level credit, document 15 hours of involvement. All your coursework and participation must be away from professional paid hours. See log example below.

Reflection Paper Requirements

For each activity, strategy or technique that you choose to develop, report the following:

Description of Workshop

Include details of workshop materials, sources and procedures used.

Methods of Implementation

Explain in detail how you will or did implement what you developed.

Indicate the grade level, age, size of group, and type of classroom or program.

Objectives and Goals

Evaluate the goals and objectives of your activity, strategy or technique. What were, or will be the expected outcomes and reactions of your learners.

Take
Away

Explain how the activity, strategy, or technique did or will enhance your professional needs.

The goal of the reflection paper is to summarize your overall experience in creating, finalizing and implementing what you learned. Some activities, strategies or techniques may require less than a page, others may require more. However, you must report on enough activities, strategies or techniques to generate at least three full pages per unit of credit. You may always report on more than three activities, strategies or techniques. This narrative is about your professional growth. Be creative with your writing!
