Join Region 7 for a series of monthly TIA Team Meetings in January, February, and March in anticipation of the April 2027 application for Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA). Each session will begin with guidance from Region 7 TIA specialists and DMAC team members, who will walk participants through the key components of the application, ensuring they have the necessary tools, insights, and clarity for success.
