PAR Program Sample Clauses

The PAR Program clause establishes the framework for a Performance Assessment and Review (PAR) process within an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines how parties will periodically evaluate performance metrics, compliance, or deliverables, often specifying the frequency, criteria, and procedures for such reviews. For example, it may require quarterly meetings to assess progress against agreed-upon milestones or service levels. The core function of this clause is to ensure ongoing accountability and provide a structured mechanism for identifying and addressing issues, thereby promoting continuous improvement and alignment between the parties.
PAR Program. The PAR Program is a yearlong process that involves frequent, ongoing, classroom-based assistance and a standards based review of a teacher’s practice. Aimed at improving teacher quality, a trained Peer Consultant Teacher (PCT) provides personalized assistance and instructional support for Participating Teachers (PT) who are interested in improving their professional practice and voluntarily request to participate. The PAR program affirms the district’s efforts to support and appraise teachers based on the guidelines of the district’s Teacher Appraisal Process (TAP). PAR is fully aligned with TAP and utilizes the same domain rubrics, observation cycles and ISBE descriptors that define the TAP process. Participating Teachers (PT) in PAR use the same forms, follow the same timelines, complete the same events, and adhere to guidelines as outlined in the TAP document.
