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

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 98,148.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 45,269.
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).
A previous request (OMB #1850-0598 v.41) 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, was approved in December 2022. This request for
public comment and OMB review is for the NTPS 2023-24 Main Study final
procedures and materials, including all contact materials and survey
questionnaires. Public comment 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.
