The purpose of the TIF program is to support projects that develop and implement performance-based compensation systems (PBCSs) for teachers and principals in order to increase educator effectiveness and student achievement in high-need schools. The Department will use the data collected through the performance reports to determine the progress of each grant and to determine the continuation of funding each year.

The Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) program received reduced funding in the 2016 and there are now 45 grantees in the program rather than the original 92 grantees from the previous information collection. The TIF program added new program measures for the new TIF grantees which resulted in adjusting the questions in the APR to reflect the changes in the performance measures.
