Plano ISD expands teacher incentive allotment pilot and support for National Board certification
Summary
Dr. Joanna Kendall briefed trustees on the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) rollout, pilot campuses, proposed metrics, and plans to expand participation to about 1,000 teachers next year along with cohort support for National Board certification.
Dr. Joanna Kendall, chief of employee services, updated trustees on the district’s Teacher Incentive Allotment implementation. She reviewed the designation metrics the district will use (45% appraisal/t‑test, 45% student growth, 5% teacher attendance, 5% professional learning), described pilot campuses and a phased rollout and said the district expects to expand to more than 1,000 teachers next year.
Kendall also described local support for teachers pursuing National Board certification, financial assistance from the Education Foundation and cohort models. "A big part of this teacher incentive allotment was to focus on keeping those teachers in the classroom," she said. Trustees asked about capacity, cohort size and program sustainability; administration said current cohorts are ~15–20 teachers and the district is not turning anyone away, though supports will need to scale if participation grows.
