Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA)
Regional supports at Education Service Centers (ESCs) were established across Texas to help improve student and school district performance. ESCs work in partnership with TEA toward the following goals:
-
More districts with TIA systems
-
More teachers eligible for TIA within local systems
-
Increased success rates with implementation and validation
-
Increasing retention for TIA Designated teachers
ESCs are available to assist districts in bringing TIA to the district, help guide local designation system development and implementation, and provide technical assistance. All ESCs are trained by TEA to provide broad TIA support to their districts. This includes support for building and applying for a new system, implementing systems, collecting and submitting teacher performance data, applying for expansions and modifications to current systems, and going through system renewal. Note, support levels may vary.
Services are provided at no cost to all school systems thanks to the TEA Teacher Incentive Allotment(TIA) Regional Support Grant.
