functional web based application that
would link prospective teachers to
opportunities for preparation, licensure,
and employment. The job-posting
feature phase of this web site must be
fully functional by next month,
September 2010, so the Administration
can provide an effective resource for
prospective and current teachers who
are interested in teaching opportunities
throughout the United States. In order to
meet this need, ED must be able to
collect limited information before the
expiration of the time period established
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995.
The FY 2009 appropriation for the
School Improvement Program,
authorizes the Secretary to establish a
national initiative, such as the TEACH
campaign, to improve the recruitment,
training, mentoring, retention, and
placement of teachers and principals in
order to improve educational outcomes.
Only 7 percent of teachers are African
American and 7 percent of teachers are
Latino. The Nation also faces a major
shortage of individuals who teach
science, technology, engineering, and
math (STEM). TEACH.gov is an
essential component of the Secretary’s
effort to increase interest in and access
to the teaching profession, particularly
among minority individuals, and
particularly in teaching science,
technology, engineering, and math
(STEM). TEACH.gov will be a virtual
‘‘one stop shopping center’’ for aspiring
teachers to learn about ways to find a
career in teaching that is personally best
for them.
The TEACH campaign, which
includes TEACH.gov, is a high priority
of the Secretary and has the full and
enthusiastic support of the President.
Indeed, the Secretary is committed to
delivering a full functioning Web site
for the start of this coming school year
and is scheduled to unveil TEACH.gov
to the public next month with
endorsements by the President and a
variety of celebrities.
The Secretary plans to enter into
partnerships with several organizations
that support increasing interest in, and
access to, the teaching profession,
particularly among minority individuals
and particularly for teaching STEM
subjects. These organizations will work
with the Department to direct aspiring
minority and STEM teacher candidates
to TEACH.gov to seek information about
career opportunities as a teacher.
We ask for emergency approval
because both the President and the
Secretary believe that it is imperative
that we increase interest in, and access
to, the teaching profession, particularly
for minority individuals and individuals

who are interested in teaching STEM
subjects. The Secretary believes that
TEACH.gov will be very effective at
achieving this objective, and no other
Web site currently exists that is as
comprehensive as TEACH.gov. We must
launch TEACH.gov as soon as possible
to meet the needs of schools and school
districts in the coming academic year.
Without approval of the Secretary’s
emergency request, we will be
prohibited from collecting and
providing essential information to
aspiring teachers in a timely manner.
Failure to launch TEACH.gov for this
coming academic year would
significantly reduce the effectiveness of
the Administration’s effort to increase
the number of minority teachers and
teachers of STEM subjects.

Abstract: The Schools and Staffing
Survey (SASS) is an in-depth, nationally
representative survey of first through
twelfth grade public and private school
teachers, principals, schools, library
media centers, and school districts. For
public school districts, principals,
schools, teachers and school libraries,
the survey estimates are staterepresentative. For private school
principals, schools, and teachers, the
survey estimates are representative of
private school types. There are two
additional components within SASS’s
4-year data collection cycle: The
Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and
the Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS),
which are conducted a year after the
SASS main collection. SASS
respondents include public and private
school principals, teachers, and school
and school district staff. Topics covered
include characteristics of teachers,
principals, schools, school libraries,
teacher training opportunities,
retention, retirement, hiring, and
shortages. This submission for SASS
2011/12 requests OMB approval for
preliminary field activities to take place
prior to data collection in the fall of
2011, including (a) Submitting SASS
research applications to special districts
that require prior research approval
before their schools and a coordinator
can be recruited for the study; (b)
conducting a calling operation to verify
whether a subset of districts are oneschool districts and will require
receiving a combined school- and
district-level questionnaire; (c)
contacting all of the remaining districts,
asking whether they are willing to
provide a Teacher Listing Form at a later
time and to request email addresses for
sampled school principals; and (d)
mailing of a pre-contact letter to sample
schools to verify the mailing address of
the school and to notify the school
about the upcoming data collection.
