Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA)

Teacher Incentive Allotment
The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) is designed to recognize effective teachers throughout the state of Texas. As part of the TIA criteria, effective teachers can be recognized on three different designation levels: Recognized, Exemplary and Master. Based on these teacher designations, additional teacher-focused allotment funding will be awarded to districts to reward their top performers. The information below was taken directly from the TIA Website at TIAtexas.org
