Teacher Incentive Allotment
Teacher Incentive Allotment
The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) is a state program designed to help districts attract, reward, and retain highly effective teachers. Through a locally designed designation system, districts can recognize impactful teaching and generate additional state funding that must be spent on teacher compensation. Region 14 supports districts through every phase of the process—from applying and designing systems to data capture, submission, and continuous improvement.
