What is the average student-teacher ratio in the United States?
What is the average salary of a beginning principal?
Have teachers’ views of their autonomy in the classroom changed
over time?
Have the characteristics of the principal and teacher workforces in
the United States changed over time?

The answers to these questions help school districts and policy makers at the
state, federal, and local levels set education policy and improve teacher and
principal working conditions.
Since 1988, the National Teacher and Principal Survey and its precursor, the
Schools and Staffing Survey, have provided the answers to these and other
important education questions from the perspective of Principals and Teachers.
By selecting a statistically representative sample of schools, and teachers in those
schools, we are able to provide representative data for the United States without
going to every school.
Your school has been selected to participate in the 2017-18 National Teacher and
Principal Survey. You will represent thousands of other principals, so it is important
that you respond to this survey.
All of the information you provide may be used only for statistical purposes and
may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except
as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

The answers to these questions help schools and policy makers set educationpolicy and improve teacher and principal working conditions.
Since 1988, the National Teacher and Principal Survey and its precursor, the
Schools and Staffing Survey, have provided the answers to these and other
important education questions from the perspective of Principals and Teachers.
By selecting a statistically representative sample of schools, and teachers in those
schools, we are able to provide representative data for the United States without
going to every school.
Your school has been selected to participate in the 2017-18 National Teacher and
Principal Survey. You will represent thousands of other principals, so it is important
that you respond to this survey.
All of the information you provide may be used only for statistical purposes and
may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except
as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

The answers to these questions help school districts and policy makers at the
state, federal, and local levels set education policy and improve teacher and
principal working conditions.
Since 1988, the National Teacher and Principal Survey and its precursor, the
Schools and Staffing Survey, have provided the answers to these and other
important education questions from the perspective of Principals and Teachers.
By selecting a statistically representative sample of schools, and teachers in those
schools, we are able to provide representative data for the United States without
going to every school.
Your school has been selected to participate in the 2017-18 National Teacher and
Principal Survey. You will represent thousands of other schools, so it is important
that you respond to this survey.
All of the information you provide may be used only for statistical purposes and
may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except
as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

The answers to these questions help schools and policy makers set education
policy and improve teacher and principal working conditions.
Since 1988, the National Teacher and Principal Survey and its precursor, the
Schools and Staffing Survey, have provided the answers to these and other
important education questions from the perspective of Principals and Teachers.
By selecting a statistically representative sample of schools, and teachers in those
schools, we are able to provide representative data for the United States without
going to every school.
Your school has been selected to participate in the 2017-18 National Teacher and
Principal Survey. You will represent thousands of other schools, so it is important
that you respond to this survey.
Basic school information such as school name, contact information, school type
or program emphasis, religious orientation or affiliation of the school, association
membership, grades taught and the number of students by grade, number of
students by race/ethnicity, and the number of full-time-equivalent teachers are
published on http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch/. The remaining
information is used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used,
in identifiable form for any other purpose except as required by law (20 U.S.C.
§9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).
More information can be found on our website: http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ntps

Paperwork Burden Statement
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays
a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this voluntary information collection is 1850-0598. The time required to
complete this information collection is estimated to average 33 minutes per response, including the time to review instructions, search
existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have any comments
concerning the accuracy of the time estimate, suggestions for improving this collection, or comments or concerns about the contents or
the status of your individual submission of this questionnaire, please e-mail: [email protected], or write directly to: National Teacher
