Title of Collection: Follow-Up Surveys
to the 2023–24 NTPS: 2024–25 Teacher
Follow-Up Survey (TFS) and 2024–25
Principal Follow-Up.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0617.
Type of Review: A revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 26,049.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 4,337.
Abstract: This request is to conduct
data collection for the two follow-up
surveys to the 2023–24 National
Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS)—
the 2024–25 Teacher Follow-up Survey
(TFS) and the 2024–25 Principal
Follow-up Survey (PFS). The 2024–25
TFS is a one year follow-up of a
subsample of teachers who responded to
the 2023–24 NTPS, and the 2024–25
PFS is a one year follow-up of
principals who responded to the 2023–
24 NTPS. The 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 2024–25 TFS and 2024–25 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Notices
‘‘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
Supporting Statement Part A
(justification), Part B (collection of
information employing statistical
methods), and Part C (item justification);

2024 to see final drafts that will be
submitted to OMB for their final review.

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

Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 26,049.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,337.
Abstract: This request is to conduct data collection for the two
follow-up surveys to the 2023-24 National Teacher and Principal Survey
(NTPS)--the 2024-25 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS) and the 2024-25
Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS). The 2024-25 TFS is a one year follow-
up of a subsample of teachers who responded to the 2023-24 NTPS, and
the 2024-25 PFS is a one year follow-up of principals who responded to
the 2023-24 NTPS. The 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 2024-25 TFS and 2024-25 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.
[[Page 14816]]
``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 60-day public comment period,
followed by an additional 30-day public comment period. This submission
includes Supporting Statement Part A (justification), Part B
(collection of information employing statistical methods), and Part C
(item justification); Appendix A (respondent contact materials) and
Appendix B (questionnaires). All submitted documents are subject to
revision before the 30-day public comment period, and we encourage
interested parties to return to these documents in late spring 2024 to
see final drafts that will be submitted to OMB for their final review.
