  Alternative Compensation Planning

  CESA 2 has developed a systematic routine for facilitating planning groups through a series of discussions and research activities to define clear goals and success criteria for improved compensation packages. 

  CESA 2 staff with experience on school boards as school administrators, teachers, and support staff serve as facilitators and external coaches through a process that supports your district. They work in developing and scaling an alternative compensation routine that is uniquely suited to your organization's circumstance and culture. 

  Alternative Compensation Planning supports require a long-term contract to be developed and match the specific needs of your district. Typical contracts will involve 4-6 foundational sessions of 2-3 hours and several additional workgroup support sessions to guide development and deployment planning. Alternative Compensation Planning packages also include support for ongoing evaluation of outcomes and follow-up review activities to ensure long-term success.
