ENHANCED TIA

Prepare for the district-level designation beyond local TIA.

Enhanced TIA is a district-level designation for school systems with a fully approved TIA local designation system. It requires strategic compensation, teacher expansion, leader evaluation, staffing strategy, and readiness to support an additional 10% on top of generated TIA funds.

What readiness work looks like

★

Readiness

Assess alignment before applying

Review strategic goals, build shared understanding, and identify readiness gaps before moving into an Enhanced TIA application process.

★

Expansion

Include substantially all teachers

Review teaching assignments and campuses, then create an expansion plan that moves toward broad teacher eligibility across the district.

★

Leadership

Define effective campus leadership

Develop or refine principal and assistant principal evaluation systems aligned to the district’s TIA approach and measurable leadership practice.

★

Compensation

Build the strategic spending plan

Analyze current salaries, stipends, TIA funds, and other sources to design a performance-based compensation system for teachers and campus leaders.

★

Assignment

Plan strategic teacher placement

Use high-need campuses, student needs, early grades, and teaching assignments to shape staffing and scheduling decisions.

★

Data

Strengthen collection and calibration

Refine systems for appraisals, assessments, student outcomes, and evaluator calibration so teacher and leader data can support the designation.
