10 ERS resources to support your Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grant application

These ERS tools and resources can support LEAs and SEAs as they prepare applications for the July 15 deadline . Our resources align with three key focus areas of the FY 2016 TIF grant application: human capital management systems, teacher compensation, and the equitable distribution of teacher talent.

Highlights include:

The Talent Decision Planner : Clarify roles, use data effectively, and empower all staff - teachers, principals, supervisors, and central office HR - to become transformational leaders with a focus on key talent management decisions.
Teacher Compensation Calculator: Explore options for designing a more effective teacher compensation system within your existing district budget.
Data Decision Brief #2 - Matching Teacher Talent to Student Need: Understand how to use data to match teachers to the students who need them the most and ensure an equitable distribution of high-performing teachers.

WHY NOW?

Because our students need more than a few great schools.

The call for increasing the rigor of instruction for all students, especially lower-income students and students of color, requires restructuring school systems. School System 20/20 is our vision for transforming school systems so every school succeeds for every student because of the system - not in spite of it.
