Implementation
Implementation Overview
These documents will provide guidance on the overall structure of implementation. District planning committees should familiarize themselves with this section before the start of the implementation year in order to prepare for the multitude of challenges that implementation can present.
Challenges & Solutions
Based on our experiences working with Texas districts and experiences reported from districts implementing strategic compensation nationwide, Technical Assistance has prepared a series of "Challenges and Solutions" documents covering all aspects of implementation. Not only will these documents offer specific solutions to common problems, but they also harken back to the general principles of implementation outlined in the overview materials.
Forms & Planners
This section contains a series of planners and graphic organizers that Technical Assistance developed to accompany our trainings and workshops. It also contain forms that districts have created to provide examples for districts looking to modify their implementation procedures.
