The Challenge Sample Clauses

The Challenge. The parties to this agreement share a fundamental and abiding commitment to the education of the adults who need basic skills. We recognize and greatly appreciate the extraordinary commitment of teachers, administrators, and other employees in the system. They work to create a system in which the staff can learn, grow, thrive, and be healthy. We believe that the Minneapolis Public School system as a whole must do more to meet the needs and expectations of all students and of the community. In particular, the community of educators finds the gaps in learning between students of color and white students unacceptable and dropout rates are too high. In addition, there are new graduation standards to understand; and methods to meet those standards throughout the education system must be developed and implemented. Adult Education recognizes these issues and provides for all students to succeed. This agreement is dedicated to doing better. Change requires intensive, carefully planned, and skillfully executed implementation. To achieve real educational improvement, the parties and the community will have to work together collaboratively to achieve an atmosphere of trust, innovation, and mission-driven purpose. For, after all: In the spirit of true learning community, the Minneapolis Public Schools exists to ensure that all students learn, and to support their growth into knowledgeable, skilled and confident citizens capable of succeeding in their work, personal and family life into the 21st century. We invite the rest of the community to join them in this effort. Working together, success is assured. The challenge is great. Some students arrive in school hungry, with serious emotional, mental, and physical health problems, lacking a stable home environment, or who may be victims of violence, require counseling and additional support. Many are working to help support themselves and their families which limits their study time. Teachers want and need continual professional development but also need the system to recognize and support their efforts to educate people from a sometimes dysfunctional environment. However great the challenges may be of educating each student to his or her full potential, we are determined to tackle them. This agreement is designed to facilitate whatever change and experiments may be needed. We invite the rest of the community to join them in this effort. Working together, success is possible. We recognize that the relationship between the...

The Challenge. The access agreement comes at a propitious moment in the development of Higher Education at the Institute. With the recent allocation of additional student numbers from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) the Institute has been able to increase substantially its portfolio of courses. Taken together with the Institute’s commitment to widening participation, data drawn from the HEFCE widening participation allocation indicating for example that 89% of our full time students are drawn from a disadvantaged background, and the region’s historically low participation rate in higher education (HEFCE 2005/03), the agreement provides perhaps a unique opportunity for the Institute to provide enhanced opportunities for its local population. Currently N E Lincolnshire is one of the most socially, economically and educationally disadvantaged regions in the country. The area is characterised by: A high rate of social deprivation1 A low rate of achievement of Level 2 qualifications2 A significant shortage of economically active people holding NVQ4 Level qualifications, or above3 A net outward migration of economically active people4 1 The area has some of the most deprived wards in the UK in terms of the index of local deprivation, for example, 3 wards out of 15 are in the lowest 10% in the country.

The Challenge. Pre-pandemic, RISD was using Brushfire to enable attendees to purchase season tickets, while still relying on in-person transactions to provide event-goers with physical paper tickets. The district found Brushfire to be a great platform for enabling attendees to view an interactive seating map to select their ideal seats for the season and adjust them as needed. Once the pandemic hit, RISD knew that they’d need to embrace a digital-first ticketing solution that enabled others to quickly and securely purchase tickets while still ensuring the safety of all attendees. Due to the fact that their platform was only constructed to support season ticket purchases, RISD identified the need to establish a new ticketing portal that would allow people to purchase tickets for individual games as well. On top of that, RISD had to ensure they were limiting ticket sales to avoid capacity issues. In the early months of COVID-19, they wanted to only allow parents of the athletes to purchase tickets. Knowing that in-person transactions weren’t going to be an option for the foreseeable future, RISD knew the time had come to embrace an online ticketing solution that was built for the current times. “When the pandemic hit, no one wanted to touch cash. It was clear that we had to make the shift to online sales, so the next step was to figure out how we could fully migrate to digital ticketing.” —Xxxxx Xxxxx, Assistant Athletic Director at RISD The Solution Having previously used their event management platform to support their season ticketing needs, calling on Brushfire to support their digital ticketing solutions was a no-brainer. RISD has been a Brushfire client since 2018, so they had a long-standing relationship that was built on credibility, trust, and quality. By helping set up new ticketing links, optimizing old ones, and enabling limited access to avoid capacity issues, Brushfire empowered RISD to successfully navigate COVID restrictions and give their attendees an effortless, user-friendly way to buy tickets. As the pandemic waxed and waned in the coming months, RISD was regularly looking to Brushfire for continuous updates to their digital ticketing platform. Whether they had an upcoming playoff game that would likely draw a huge crowd or needed to notify attendees about a weather-related cancellation, Brushfire was always quick to respond and provide personalized support at the drop of a hat. Brushfire was RISD’s go-to partner for setting up all events for schools an...

The Challenge. There will be no ‘magic wand’ solution to challenges facing the children’s workforce but, the legacy should not mask the considerable achievements of the past few years. CWDC has been tireless in pursuing an agenda of change and workforce reform that will meet the requirements of the children, young people, their families and carers, the vision of the sector and the aspirations of Government. The SSA will be the overarching framework that sets all of this into context and provides a means for the sector to engage with both the many stakeholders and fund holders to create a more dynamic workforce development model in which resources can be better used and focussed to meet real sector priorities. The direction of travel and the magnitude of the task are clear. The needs and aspirations of children, young people their families and carers, require an urgent response. The SSA will give voice to that urgency. Appendices:
The Challenge. Computing is entering a new era that brings revolutionary changes at many levels, including infrastructure, hardware, middleware, and end-user software. Rapidly advancing ICT trends such as service orientation, smart mobile devices, cloud computing, sensor networks, user-generated content and the Semantic Web transform the Internet into a global platform of knowledge and services. A major challenge in this context is to set up an initiative that coordinates and supports ongoing research and development efforts in the area of Software and Services, specifically those that utilize semantic technologies, towards the realization of this vision of the future Internet of Services. Since rapid advancement from various fields of ICT necessitates high-level coordination in order to optimally combine research and development results into eventual cross-domain solutions, the Service Web 3.0 project was challenged to provide: vision and leadership through coordinated research activities, professional forums and channels of dissemination, and community networking infrastructure and support to these means.
