Teacher Incentive Allotment
The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) is designed to help school districts recruit, retain, and reward highly effective teachers. Districts can recognize outstanding teachers by awarding them one of four designations: Acknowledged, Recognized, Exemplary, or Master.
With a Texas Education Agency (TEA)-approved local designation system in place, districts can identify top-performing teachers based on student growth and teacher performance. These designations then generate additional funding that can be used to reward high-impact teachers, support retention efforts, and help recruit more talented educators. Schools in rural or high-need areas may receive higher funding amounts.
