TIA Application Submission Overview
Join Region 7 for an energizing series of monthly TIA Team Meetings in January, February, and March as we gear up for the April 2026 submission of your Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) application! Each session will kick off with dynamic, expert-led guidance from Region 7 TIA specialists and DMAC team members, who will walk you through key components of the application, ensuring you have the tools, insights, and clarity needed for success. In the afternoon, roll up your sleeves and dive into hands-on collaboration with fellow TIA Leads from across the region. These work sessions are your opportunity to make real progress, exchange ideas, ask questions, and check off critical items on your application to-do list. To get the most out of each session, we encourage LEAs to bring their full core TIA team—this is your time to plan, build, and align as a team with the support of Region 7 every step of the way. Don’t miss this chance to supercharge your TIA journey—April 2026 will be here before you know it!
