Retain quality teachers by providing an effective and relevant education benefit program.

Retention & Advancement

2nd largest issuer of new teaching credentials in California

According to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) 20 percent of all new hires leave the classroom within three years. In urban districts, the numbers are worse—close to 50 percent of newcomers flee the profession during their first five years of teaching. You already know it’s difficult to recruit new teachers so losing any credentialed staff you already have makes matters worse.

At University of Massachusetts Global, we understand the teacher shortage and can help you solve your short and long term needs. In addition, we can build a program for your school that develops non-credentialed staff into teachers, creating a pipeline of teachers from within your current workforce. As their expertise increases, excellent teachers want to take on additional responsibilities and assume leadership roles within their schools.

At UMass Global, we can help! We offer a Master of Arts in Education for your credentialed staff who are seeking advancement opportunities. There are six emphasis areas and they are designed for fast, flexible completion. In fact, UMass Global will block transfer up to 12 Induction and PASC credits, getting your teachers one step closer to their Master’s Degree.

We hope employees will say, "When I was at County of Orange, they made it easier for me to get my degree." And that word of mouth and positive branding is valuable. Whether an employee is here for 1 year or 10 years, we still get value immediately.

In a struggle to attract and retain good people, our clients are always looking for employee engagement and company culture. Yet very few companies understand what that means. It's more than an employee t-shirt or potluck and the Brandman* program really falls in line with improving your culture.

The Ed.D. program provided me with essential tools for leading during times of systemic change at a time when the California community college system is undergoing rapid transformation. The program was highly practical: I was able to immediately apply what I was learning in a given class to projects and initiatives I was working on at my college, and I continue to draw on these skills daily.

Grossmont College, Senior Dean, Education, Ed.D.
My academic advisor was a great support system. He was my advisor throughout my master’s program and he took the time to learn about me personally so we could make the best schedule to accommodate my life.
