‘‘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 2024–25 TFS analysis file will
include TFS data in addition to data
collected in the 2023–24 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 the conditions that
affect the balance between teacher
attrition and retention. The NTPS and
TFS provide national data on turnover
in the teacher workforce, including rates
of 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 only in
terms of the number of teaching
positions left vacant to the
qualifications and years of experience of
teachers who stay in the classroom
versus those who leave the profession.
The cross-sectional repeated design of
the TFS allows the analysis of trends
related to these topics.
The 2024–25 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
2023–24 NTPS. Together, the NTPS and
PFS will provide national data on
turnover in the principal workforce,
including rates of attrition from
principalship, sources and
characteristics of newly hired
principals, characteristics and
destinations of leavers, and due to the
cross-sectional repeated design of the
PFS, analyses of trends related to these
topics.
This clearance request is to conduct
both 2024–25 NTPS follow-up surveys
(TFS and PFS), including all
recruitment and data collection
activities. This request seeks
authorization for the 2024–25 TFS and
2024–25 PFS under the TFS single OMB
number (OMB# 1850–0617).
This submission will undergo a 60day public comment period, followed
by an additional 30-day public comment
period. This submission includes

Title of Collection: National Teacher
and Principal Survey of 2023–2024
(NTPS 2023–24) Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0598.
Type of Review: A revision of a

Abstract: The National Teacher and
Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted
every 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.
The NTPS serves as the base year for
two follow-up collections: The Principal
Follow-up Survey (PFS) contacts
principals who responded to the
previous year’s NTPS collection to
determine whether, one year later, they
are working as a principal at the same
school as the previous year (‘‘stayers’’),
have moved to a different school
(‘‘movers’’), or have left the profession
(‘‘leavers’’). The Teacher Follow-up
Survey (TFS) contacts a sample of

teachers who responded to the previous
year’s NTPS collection in order to
determine whether they are stayers,
movers, or leavers, as well as additional
questions about their career paths and
employment experiences. (TFS and PFS
are cleared as part of a separate package
under OMB #1850–0617. The package
for TFS/PFS 2024–25 will be cleared in
2024.)
For the 2021–22 and earlier TFS
collections, our primary source of
information on whether a teacher was a
stayer, mover, or leaver (before we
sampled and directly contacted those
teachers) came from the school at which
they worked during the previous year.
However, not all schools report that
information and, among those that do,
they may not know the job status of the
prior year’s teachers. In order to
determine whether that information can
be collected more accurate and
efficiently, we plan to ask NTPS
teachers, at the end of the 2023–24
school year, whether they believe they
will return to the same school in the
2024–25 school year. If their responses
align with the information we later
collect from schools and/or teachers
who complete the TFS, we may be able
to use this information to sample
teachers for future administrations of
the TFS.
For NTPS teachers who complete the
NTPS Teacher Questionnaire web
survey, on or after April 15, 2024, we
will ask this question as the final item
in the survey. For NTPS teachers who
complete the survey before April 15,
2024 or who complete a paper
questionnaire, we will send them an
email invitation asking them to answer
this additional question and, if needed,
update their contact information.
Teachers will only be asked this
question once, but we have provided
sample questions that reflect the two
different ways in which the question
may be asked. We estimate that this
question will add 1 additional minute of
burden for teachers from whom it is part
of NTPS Teacher Questionnaire web
survey, and 3 minutes for teachers who
answer this item through a standalone
web survey.
As part of this change, we have
updated the estimated burden for
teachers to complete the NTPS with the
addition of this question in Part A. We
have added the text of this question,
shown here and in Appendix B, and the
accompanying email for teachers who
are sent a separate email invitation here
and in Appendix A.
