RISD recognized more than 20 highly effective teachers with monetary stipends as part of the state’s effort to reward and retain skilled educators.
Teachers also receive a designation through the Teacher Incentive Allotment that is added to their state board of education certification for five years. The purpose of the TIA is to prioritize teaching in high-needs areas and reward high-performing teachers.
