Rewarding Top Teachers

Sherman ISD offers an exciting pathway for highly effective teachers to earn up to approximately $24,000 per year in addition to their salary. As a participant in the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA), Sherman ISD has created a local teacher designation system to measure teacher effectiveness using observation and student growth data. Teachers who are identified as recognized, exemplary or master teachers receive extra compensation to reward them for their hard work and incentivize them to stay in SISD classrooms.
