The NOLA TIF project, a grant funded by the federal government’s Teacher Incentive Fund, is dedicated to improving student achievement and promoting educator excellence in New Orleans.  Ten organizations are working with New Schools for New Orleans to implement the project in the 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15 school years:

• Andrew H Wilson Charter School

• Choice Foundation

• Collegiate Academies

• FirstLine Schools

• KIPP New Orleans Schools

• New Orleans College Prep

• Pride College Prep

• Sophie B Wright Charter School

• Success Preparatory Academy 

• ReNEW Schools

At the 34 NOLA TIF schools, teachers in all subjects as well as administrators will be evaluated based on multiple observations.  The evaluations will allow school leaders and organization administrators to provide rigorous assessments and aligned support designed to enable teachers and principals to become more effective educators.  Teachers or administrators evaluated as top performers or whose students demonstrate impressive academic achievement will be eligible for a performance-related bonus.

At KIPP New Orleans, 100% of teachers at all 9 of our schools are a part of the NOLA TIF program.  For more information about the TIF program, contact onboarding@kippneworleans.org .  

By championing professional excellence with a focus on student achievement, the NOLA TIF program will support the continued drive toward excellent public schools for every child in New Orleans.
