NTPS will be an in-depth, nationally

trend analysis. Topics covered include
characteristics of teachers, principals,
schools, teacher training opportunities,
retention, retirement, hiring, and

approval to conduct preliminary field
activities prior to data collection. These
activities will take place in early 2015

study. The lead time is necessary to
