Newer Pennsylvania teachers must convert an Instructional I certificate to Instructional II (Level II) within 6 years of service, and that conversion takes 24 post-baccalaureate credits. The 3 graduate credits from a UMass Global edition can count toward those 24: PDE accepts graduate credits from accredited degree-granting universities and reviews each transcript.
These are graduate-level, non-degree professional development credits, issued on an official UMass Global transcript. Level II certification also requires satisfactory service, PDE-approved induction, and the PDE evaluation, and you apply for it yourself through PDE (TIMS). Confirm your specifics with your district or PDE.
