Abstract: The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is an international survey of teachers and principals that focuses on the working conditions of teachers and the teaching and learning practices in schools. TALIS was first administered in 2008 and is conducted every five years. Having participated in 2013 but not in 2008, the United States will administer TALIS for the second time in 2018. TALIS is sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In the United States, TALIS is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), of the Institute of Education Sciences within the U.S. Department of Education. TALIS 2018 will address teacher training and professional development, teachers’ appraisal, school climate, school leadership, teachers’ instructional approaches, teachers’ pedagogical practices, and their experience with and support for teaching diverse populations. In February 2017, the TALIS 2018 field test was conducted to evaluate newly developed teacher and school questionnaire items and test the survey operations. The recruitment of schools for the 2018 main study sample was approved in September 2016 with the latest change request approved in June 2017 (OMB# 1850-0888 v.4-6). This request is to conduct the TALIS 2018 main study.
