The Texas Education Agency (TEA) updated its Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) program, expanding opportunities for teachers to qualify for performance-based raises and standardizing the statewide scoring system.
The TIA program was originally created through House Bill (HB) 3 in the 86th Legislative Session, with the stated goal of “providing districts with systems and funding to recruit promising new teachers, retaining their best teachers, and incentivizing teachers to work in high-needs schools and difficult to staff positions.”
