What is the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA)?  \nTIA is a Texas program designed to recognize and retain outstanding classroom teachers. It creates a way for highly effective teaching to be formally recognized through a state designation and supported with additional funding. Designations are issued by TEA after the district submits data and the state completes its validation process.  \nQ2 . What designation levels can I earn?  \nThere are four levels: Acknowledged, Recognized, Exemplary, and Master. Each level corresponds to performance relative to all Texas teachers, based on statewide performance standards for teacher observation and student growth. The Acknowledged category will be added at the end of the 2026-27 school year, and all other allotment levels will increase.  \nQ3 .

Once TEA issues a designation, it is recorded on your SBEC certificate and remains active for a five-year window. If your performance meets district criteria and is approved by the state, you can qualify for a higher designation within that window, which resets the five-year term.\u003Cbr>Q4 . Does my designation follow me if I change assignments, campuses, or districts?\u003Cbr>Yes. Designations are not tied to a specific grade, subject, or campus. They follow you on your SBEC certificate and remain valid for the full five-year window even if you change assignments or districts. However, a designation generates an allotment only in years when you meet TEA eligibility and reporting requirements, including being employed in an eligible instructional role and reported as teacher of record at the winter class roster submission.\u003Cbr>Q5 .
