The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) is a redesign of the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and
is ED’s primary source of information on the teacher and principal labor market and on what is happening in K-12
public schools from teachers’ and principals’ perspectives. NTPS is an in-depth, nationally representative survey
of first through twelfth grade public school teachers, principals, and schools. Kindergarten teachers in schools
with at least a first grade are also eligible for NTPS. Starting in 2015-2016, the NTPS will be conducted every two
years utilizing core content and a series of rotating modules to allow timely collection of important education
trends and conducting trend analyses. The NTPS is the Department’s regular source of data on salaries, out-ofpocket expenses, qualifications, and race/ethnic and age distribution of teachers; along with salaries and
race/ethnic and age distribution of principals; and school start times and student teacher ratios. The 2015-16
NTPS full-scale data collection was approved in June 2015 (1850-0598 v.11), with change requests approved in
September 2015 and January 2016 (1850-0598 v.12 and 13 respectively). This submission adds the template
content of a principal conversion email that will provide links to online surveys to principals of schools that have
not yet completed the principal and/or the school NTPS 2015-16 questionnaire.
