TIA
What is the Teacher Incentive Allotment?
The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) was created by the Texas Legislature as part of House Bill 3 to provide a realistic pathway for top teachers to earn six-figure salaries and to help attract and retain highly effective teachers at traditionally hard-to-staff schools. To learn more about the Teacher Incentive Allotment, visit tiatexas.org.
Why does Medina Valley ISD want to be a Teacher Incentive Allotment District?
Our goal in Medina Valley ISD is to recruit, retain and REWARD high-quality teachers. We want to provide ongoing opportunities for teacher professional growth and continually strive to improve student outcomes.
Teacher Designations
Teacher designations generate additional teacher-focused allotment funding for districts to reward and retain their most effective teachers. 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.
How do I get designated?
Medina Valley ISD has created a District plan which includes teaching positions, T-TESS Observations and Data Collection. The plan allows for teachers to do what they do best - grow students.
We are building a Planning Committee that consists of individuals representative of all of the teaching assignments in MVISD. If you would like to be considered for the Planning Committee, then please fill out this MVISD TIA Stakeholder Committee Volunteer Form.
