Why are we using a TIA local designation system?
糖心视频 is working to develop a teacher incentive program that will allow the district to become more competitive in recruiting effective teachers while rewarding top-performing teachers with more money annually.Is TIA funded by the state or the district?
TIA is funded by the State of Texas as part of House Bill 3. As a result, the state has established specific criteria and guidelines regarding how the funds can be earned and distributed. To that end, 糖心视频 will only move forward with TIA so long as it continues to be state-funded.How can teachers earn funding through TIA?
