National Board and TIA
Beginning in April 2021, eligible National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) will earn a Recognized designation. The designation will expire the July following expiration of the teacher’s National Board Certification. NBCT candidates will earn a designation and generate an allotment for their district in April following their successful certification.

To be eligible for the Recognized Teacher Incentive Allotment designation, NBCTs must:
Be listed as a Texas teacher in the NBCT directory. NBCTs with an out of state directory listing must update their information by January 31st to be eligible for a designation that school year.
Be employed as a teacher by a Texas school district or public charter (coded as 087 Role ID in PEIMS/TSDS).
Hold an active National Board certificate.
Teachers with a Recognized designation must be employed as a Texas teacher (087 role ID in PEIMS) and complete a creditable year of service to generate funding for that year. The Recognized designation generates anywhere from $3,000 to $9,000 for the NBCT’s district. The total amount depends on the socioeconomic status of the campus’s students and the campus’s rural status.What Is a National Board Certification?
National Board Certification is a voluntary advanced professional certification for PreK–12 educators that identifies teaching expertise through a performance-based, peer-reviewed assessment. Teachers are certified based on standards set by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). More than 125,000 teachers across all 50 states have achieved National Board Certification.
National Board Certification provides teachers an opportunity to hone their practice, demonstrate their professional knowledge and reinforce their dedication to their students and their careers. National Board Certification opens doors for teachers to make an impact on student learning in their own classroom, and to influence teaching and learning improvements beyond their four walls. The State of Texas and several districts across the state offer financial benefits for board-certified teachers.
