Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA)
The Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) was established to provide outstanding teachers with an accessible pathway to a six-figure salary. Unlike previous education programs, the Teacher Incentive Allotment is not a grant.
Through our approved local designation system, Rapoport Academy can identify and designate outstanding teachers based on student growth and classroom observation. Employing designated teachers generates extra funding for districts to reward top performers.
At Rapoport Academy:
- Any teacher in any subject can potentially qualify for TIA based on T-TESS evaluations and student growth
- Ratings are based 50/50 on Evaluations & Student Growth

**85% goes to the designated teacher.
Values vary based on campus socioeconomic status.
