Read Fort Worth is working across Fort Worth ISD to encourage district-wide adoption of Teacher Excellence Incentives (TEI). TEI defines and evaluates teacher excellence through three lenses:
Performance
Student Achievement
Student Experience Surveys
House Bill 3 made money available to ISDs who adopted a TEI system in their district.
