Summary
A district presenter reported a 71% teacher response rate to the TIA survey (higher than the statewide 51%), strong understanding of the designation process, and generally positive confidence in evaluations; staff said they will continue soliciting feedback to address lower high‑school engagement.
A district presenter shared results of the required Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) survey. The presenter said 71% of eligible teachers in the district responded (compared with 51% statewide), with elementary teachers making up the largest respondent group. The survey used a five‑point scale; the presenter summarized results on communication, feedback opportunities and teacher confidence in appraisal measures.
The presenter highlighted that teachers reported strong understanding of the district’s TIA designation process (elementary 90%, middle 79%, high school 72%) and noted high confidence in appraisal calibration and principal feedback. The district reported that observation processes (pre‑conference, 45‑minute observation, post‑conference and walkthroughs) contributed to teachers’ confidence in evaluation outcomes.
Board members asked whether the lower high‑school scores had explanation; the presenter said the survey itself did not include qualitative feedback on that point but staff will follow up with the state TIA team and conduct additional campus-level feedback, including face‑to‑face coaching and review of Edgenuity/Edgforia reports used to provide post‑observation feedback.
The presenter said the district will reconvene the TIA committee and gather more input from year‑1 and year‑2 teachers before reapplying in the next cycle.
