Partner is responsible for working with BetterLesson and local partners to identify and enroll all teachers and instructional leaders who will access the Services (each such teacher or instructional leader, a “Participant”). If an existing Participant terminates, cancels, or otherwise stops access to the Services, for any or no reason, the coaching seat will be considered activated by BetterLesson, no participant substitutions will be permitted. Should the Partner wish to add a new participant to coaching, the Partner may activate a new coaching seat for the participant from remaining services on the contract or purchase an additional coaching seat should no services remain on the contract.  For clarity, except as otherwise provided in the applicable Order Form, any termination or partial termination of the Agreement by Partner or a Participant, and any cancellation or partial cancellation of the Services by Partner or a Participant, for any reason, shall not affect Partner’s continued obligation to pay the Company the Fees for services actually rendered, which obligation continues notwithstanding such termination or cancellation.

Funding for this program is being provided through a grant from the Mayberg Foundation. The grant is supported by a partnership with the Jewish Education Innovation Challenge, a Mayberg Foundation educational initiative, which works to catalyze radical improvement in Jewish day schools.
