Initial Professional Conversation Sample Clauses

The "Initial Professional Conversation" clause establishes a formal requirement for an early meeting or discussion between the parties involved in an agreement. This conversation typically occurs at the outset of the professional relationship and is intended to clarify expectations, discuss project scope, and address any preliminary questions or concerns. By mandating this initial interaction, the clause helps ensure that both parties are aligned from the beginning, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and setting a clear foundation for future collaboration.
Initial Professional Conversation. Student Growth Goals The teacher may complete the personal Self-Assessment and should complete the Student Growth Goal Setting documents prior to the conference. The personal self-assessment is for the purpose of assisting the teacher in preparing for the conference and identifying areas of focus and reflection, as well as a professional growth goal. It is at the sole discretion of the teacher whether to share the self-assessment with the evaluator. The Student Growth Goal Setting documents should be ready to be shared with the evaluator in order to establish the student growth goals for criteria 3, 6, and 8. It is preferable that these goals are related as much as possible. It is also preferable if the evaluator and the teacher mutually agree upon the goals. The student growth goals may be adjusted during the school year, when appropriate. Considerations for Secondary Teachers with Trimesters: • Teachers must have their initial professional conversation by October 31, but Student Growth Goals (SGG) may be finalized after the start of second trimester and no later than December 15. • SGG may span a single trimester. • Student Growth Component 8.1 references collaboratively developed common measures. Especially in reference to trimesters, collaboration to establish and develop common high-quality measures may refer to a set of skills, rather than specific content.

  • Order Coordination and Order Coordination-Time Specific 2.1.9.1 “Order Coordination” (OC) allows BellSouth and Lightyear to coordinate the installation of the SL2 Loops, Unbundled Digital Loops (UDL) and other Loops where OC may be purchased as an option, to Lightyear’s facilities to limit end user service outage. OC is available when the Loop is provisioned over an existing circuit that is currently providing service to the end user. OC for physical conversions will be scheduled at BellSouth’s discretion during normal working hours on the committed due date. OC shall be provided in accordance with the chart set forth below. 2.1.9.2 “Order Coordination – Time Specific” (OC-TS) allows Lightyear to order a specific time for OC to take place. BellSouth will make every effort to accommodate Lightyear’s specific conversion time request. However, BellSouth reserves the right to negotiate with Lightyear a conversion time based on load and appointment control when necessary. This OC-TS is a chargeable option for all Loops except Unbundled Copper Loops (UCL) and Universal Digital Channel (UDC), and is billed in addition to the OC charge. Lightyear may specify a time between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (location time) Monday through Friday (excluding holidays). If Lightyear specifies a time outside this window, or selects a time or quantity of Loops that requires BellSouth technicians to work outside normal work hours, overtime charges will apply in addition to the OC and OC-TS charges. Overtime charges will be applied based on the amount of overtime worked and in accordance with the rates established in the Access Services Tariff, Section E13.2, for each state. The OC-TS charges for an order due on the same day at the same location will be applied on a per Local Service Request (LSR) basis.
