About the Teacher Incentive Allotment
What is the Teacher Incentive Allotment?
HB 3 established the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) to recognize effective teachers on three different levels: Recognized, Exemplary, and Master. These teacher designations generate additional teacher-focused allotment funding for districts in order for them to reward their top performers.
Teachers earn designations through two different routes. First, National Board Certified teachers are eligible to earn a Recognized designation. Second, districts may designate their effective teachers when they are approved for a local teacher designation system. The approval process is multi-step and includes the submission of a system application to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and then a data validation process through Texas Tech University.
TIA Allotment Amounts
TIA allotment amounts are determined by three factors:
-
Teacher designation levels
-
Socio-economic level of the campus
-
Rural or non-rural status
More information can be found on TEA's Teacher Incentive Allotment funding page.
TENTATIVE amounts for Bartlett ISD are depicted according to the current socio-economic levels of each campus and rural status. The allotment amount will vary every year.
Average Campus Allotment
Recognized | $7,678* |
Exemplary | $15,355* |
Master | $27,592* |
