Type of Review: A reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 25,688. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 5,136. Abstract: This request is to conduct data collection for the two follow-up surveys to the 2020–21 National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS)— the 2021–22 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the 2021–22 Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS). The 2021–22 TFS is a one-year follow up of a subsample of teachers who responded to the 2020–21 NTPS, and the 2021–22 PFS is a one-year follow up of principals who responded to the 2020– 21 NTPS. TFS and PFS are conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), of the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The 2021–22 TFS and 2021–22 PFS, like earlier TFS and PFS collections, will measure the one-year attrition rates of teachers and principals, respectively, who leave the profession and will permit comparisons of stayers, movers, and leavers to fulfill the legislative mandate for NCES to report on the ‘‘condition of education in the United States.’’ ‘‘Stayers’’ are teachers or principals who remain in the same school between the NTPS year of data collection and the follow-up year. ‘‘Movers’’ are teachers or principals who stay in the profession but change schools between the NTPS year and the follow-up year. ‘‘Leavers’’ are NTPS respondents who leave the teaching or principal profession between the NTPS year and the follow-up year. The 2021– 22 TFS analysis file will include TFS data in addition to data collected in the 2020–21 NTPS on teacher characteristics, qualifications, perceptions of the school environment and the teaching profession, and a host of other topics. Prior TFS data have played an important role in improving VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:40 May 17, 2021 Jkt 253001 the understanding of teacher supply and demand and the conditions that affect the balance between the two. NTPS and TFS provide national data on turnover in the teacher workforce, including rates of entry and attrition from teaching, sources and characteristics of newly hired teachers, and characteristics and destinations of Leavers. These data help shift the debate from the issue of teacher quantity to teacher quality; that is, from a focus on teacher shortages measured in terms of the numbers of teaching positions left vacant to the qualifications of teachers who are hired and retained to fill teaching positions. The cross-sectional repeated design of TFS allows the analysis of trends related to these topics. The 2021–22 PFS analysis file will include PFS data in addition to data on principal characteristics, qualifications, and perceptions of the school environment from data collected in the 2020–21 NTPS. Together, NTPS and PFS will provide national data on turnover in the principal workforce, including rates of entry and attrition from principalship, sources and characteristics of newly hired principals, characteristics and destinations of leavers, and thanks to the cross-sectional repeated design of PFS, analyses of trends related to these topics. This clearance request is to conduct both 2021–22 NTPS follow-up surveys (TFS and PFS), including all recruitment and data collection activities. This request seeks authorization for 2021–22 TFS and 2021–22 PFS under the TFS single OMB number (OMB# 1850–0617). Dated: May 13, 2021.

    Abstract: This request is to conduct data collection for the two 
follow-up surveys to the 2020-21 National Teacher and Principal Survey 
(NTPS)--the 2021-22 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the 2021-22 
Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS). The 2021-22 TFS is a one-year follow

one-year attrition rates of teachers and principals, respectively, who 
leave the profession and will permit comparisons of stayers, movers, 
and leavers to fulfill the legislative mandate for NCES to report on 
the ``condition of education in the United States.'' ``Stayers'' are 
teachers or principals who remain in the same school between the NTPS 
year of data collection and the follow-up year. ``Movers'' are teachers 
or principals who stay in the profession but change schools between the 
NTPS year and the follow-up year. ``Leavers'' are NTPS respondents who 
leave the teaching or principal profession between the NTPS year and 
the follow-up year. The 2021-22 TFS analysis file will include TFS data 
in addition to data collected in the 2020-21 NTPS on teacher 
characteristics, qualifications, perceptions of the school environment 
and the teaching profession, and a host of other topics. Prior TFS data 
have played an important role in improving the understanding of teacher 
supply and demand and the conditions that affect the balance between 
the two. NTPS and TFS provide national data on turnover in the teacher 
workforce, including rates of entry and attrition from teaching, 
sources and characteristics of newly hired teachers, and

topics. The 2021-22 PFS analysis file will include PFS data in addition 
to data on principal characteristics, qualifications, and perceptions 
of the school environment from data collected in the 2020-21 NTPS. 
Together, NTPS and PFS will provide national data on turnover in the
