Teacher Incentive Allotment Overview

  • Rewarding Teacher Excellence in Texas

    House Bill 3 (HB 3), 86th Legislature, included massive increases in teachers' pay. The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) was established by HB 3 with the goal of effective classroom teachers earning a higher salary. TIA allotment funds help Texas school systems reward, retain, and recruit highly effective teachers. The funding formula prioritizes high needs and rural campuses.

    HB 3 established the Teacher Incentive Allotment 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 pathways.

    • First, National Board Certified (NBC) teachers are eligible to earn a Recognized designation, any certified teacher can work on NBC.
    • Second, districts may designate their effective teachers when their local teacher designation system is approved. 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 builds upon the success of past national incentive programs while removing previous barriers to success.
