2. Program Highlight - Teacher Incentive Allotment
Description:
The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) elevates the education profession by providing districts with systems and funding to recruit promising new teachers, retain their best educators, and incentivize teaching in high-needs schools and hard-to-staff positions. Grounded in the Texas Education Code (TEC) §21.3521 (Local Optional Teacher Designation System) and §48.112 (Teacher Incentive Allotment), TIA is designed to provide lasting financial support for outstanding Texas teachers to remain in the classroom and enhance student outcomes.
Our vision is to elevate the education profession and improve student achievement through strategic district leadership planning and ongoing stakeholder engagement and data analysis that results in aligned and focused systems that reward highly effective teachers.
