OMB Control Number: 1850-0598.

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.
