â¢ A tsunami surge may be small at one point of the shore and large at another point a short distance away. Do not assume that because there is minimal sign of a tsunami in one place it will be like that everywhere else. â¢ Tsunamis can travel up rivers and streams that lead to the ocean.
A developmental job assignment is a formal opportunity for an employee to develop professional knowledge, skills, and abilities that would not otherwise be available through their normal work activities. Developmental job assignments should be primarily a product of the employeeâs Performance and Development Plan (PDP).
Called developmental milestones, these are skills which build on each other, from simple to complex, during predictable time periods. For example, a child must babble single syllables (4 - 6 months) before multiple syllables (7 to 9 months) before speaking 2-word sentences (18 - 24 months). Milestone charts represent a timetable for mastery of these skills -- a guide to normal development.
