Title of Collection: National Teacher and Principal Survey of 2023-
2024 (NTPS 2023-24) Preliminary Field Activities.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0598.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,419.
Abstract: The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS),
conducted every two or three years by the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES), is a system of related questionnaires that provides
descriptive data on the context of elementary and secondary education.
Redesigned from the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) with a focus on
flexibility, timeliness, and integration with other ED data, the NTPS
system allows for school, principal, and teacher characteristics to be
analyzed in relation to one another.
NTPS is an in-depth, nationally representative survey of first
through twelfth grade public and private school teachers, principals,
and schools. Kindergarten teachers in schools with at least a first
grade are also surveyed. NTPS utilizes core content and a series of
rotating modules to allow timely collection of important education
trends as well as trend analysis. Topics covered include
characteristics of teachers, principals, schools, teacher training
opportunities, retention, retirement, hiring, and shortages. NTPS also
functions as the base-year for the longitudinal studies Teacher Follow-
up Survey (TFS) and Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS).
This request is to conduct the NTPS 2023-24 preliminary activities,
namely special district recruitment, recruitment of endorsers, and
Screener Survey for the NTPS and the NTPS follow-up surveys. The NTPS
2023-24 Main Study final procedures and materials will be published for
public comment and OMB review in winter 2022-23, and OMB approval for
the follow-up surveys to NTPS 2023-24--the Teacher Follow-up Survey
(TFS) and the Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS) will be requested in an
additional package in winter 2023-24.
