The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), conducted every two to 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 2019-20 preliminary activities were approved in July 2019, with a change request approved in November 2019 (OMB# 18500598 v.26-27). This request is to update the details of the NTPS 2019-20 sampling plan. This request does not introduce changes to
the estimated respondent burden or the costs to the federal government. OMB approved the main study for 2020-21 in March
2020(OMB# 1850-0598 v.28). The current request is to correct errors in the recently approved NTPS 2020-21 v.28 package. These
errors were introduced in the process of document upload and affect burden.
