In the unique and rare situation where Individual departments are contracting with a non-PSD employee as the instructor of an SI class, the following procurement and budget steps need to be followed:
- Get a quote for the cost of the services.
- If the external instructor is not an active vendor:
- Department Office Manager enters a ticket using the request type Finance>Contracts and Purchase Requests
- A PO will be generated and sent to the vendor once the contracting process is complete.
- The external instructor submits an invoice after services are received (the class happens).
- Department Office Managers enter a ticket using the request type Finance>Accounts Payable to have payment processed.

Review the room assignment for your classes (Home)
Room assignments were intentional for the class and within the scope of all classes being offered. Contact Kate for questions about rooms.
Each room has a TV display; instructors need to bring a PSD device to connect.
Instructors are encouraged for accessibility to leverage and use the mic system in each classroom.
Instructors are welcome to rearrange the desks or tables in the classrooms (summer cleaning happens after).
Do NOT open windows or prop doors. This counteracts the air flow in the building.
On any given day, we have some classrooms not in use but this varies per day. Talk with PD if you want or need a breakout space.
Lunch will NOT be provided for instructors.
All Gender Restrooms, Family Lactation Room, and safety exits will be identified on the posted location floorplan..

Have participants use the Unified Talent App to scan the Check In QR code on the room sign (morning and after lunch). Once participants have successfully used the app to check in, that class turns a slight shade of blue within the app. For anyone that is unable to use the app and QR code or that is more than 15 minutes late, have them sign the bright pink back up sign in sheet. Use this bright pink back up sign sheet also if anyone needs to leave early. Send anyone with questions down to the PD Table. Return the bright pink back up sheet to the PD Table at the end of each day.
Given the new attendance process, you will not have a printed sign in sheet in your room.
If anyone joins your class on the first day that is not on the sign in sheet and you are not aware of any previous special arrangements, send that person to the PD Table to determine if they can join the class.
Establish routines or do activities to build community in your class and help participants transition into learning.
Set the norms and expectations with your group: sticking to daily schedule, full participation, collaborative respect, etc.

How to access your class roster. Note: within the instructions, it marks out clicking the box to include the QR code for scanning with the app. Do this if you'd like to screenshot the unique QR code for each section (am and pm of each day) and add it to your slide deck.
