by the TALIS Governing Board (TGB),
comprising representatives from the
OECD member countries, and
implemented internationally by
organizations contracted by the OECD

TALIS 2024 is conducted by the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) of the Institute of Education
Sciences, U.S. Department of Education.
TALIS 2024 is focused on teachers’
professional environment, teaching
conditions, and their impact on school
and teacher effectiveness. TALIS 2024
will address teacher training and
professional development, teacher
appraisal, school climate, school
leadership, instructional approaches,
pedagogical practices, and teaching
experience with and support for
teaching diverse populations.
OECD has scheduled the main study
to occur in the Northern hemisphere
from February through March 2024 and
in the Southern hemisphere from June
through August 2024. To prepare for the
main study, several TALIS countries
will conduct pilot studies in February
2022; the U.S. will not participate.
Countries will also conduct a field test
in the first quarter of 2023, primarily to
evaluate newly developed questionnaire
items and school recruitment materials;
the U.S. will participate in the field test.
To meet the international data
collection schedule for the field test,
U.S. recruitment activities need to begin
by August 2022 and U.S. questionnaires
must be finalized by December 2022.
TALIS 2024 includes the core TALIS
teacher and principal surveys that are
required for each participating country,
as well as an optional Teacher
Knowledge Survey (TKS). The TKS is
intended to better understand the
teacher pedagogical knowledge base at
the national level. The US is including
the TKS in the upcoming TALIS 2024
field test and will evaluate these results
to determine the feasibility of including
TKS as part of the US Main Study.
This submission requests approval
for: Recruitment and pre-survey
activities for the 2023 field test sample;
administration of the field test; and
school recruitment and pre-survey
activities for the 2024 main study
sample. The materials that will be used
in the 2024 main study will be based
upon the field test materials included in
this submission. Additionally, this
submission is designed to adequately
justify the need for and overall practical
utility of the full study and to present
the overarching plan for all phases of
the data collection, providing as much
detail about the measures to be used as
is available at the time of this
submission. As part of this submission,
NCES is publishing a notice in the
Federal Register allowing first a 60- and
then a 30-day public comment period.
For the final proposal for the full study,
after the field test NCES will publish a
notice in the Federal Register allowing
