FORM NTPS-1

Why does the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) conduct the
National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS)?
The NTPS is designed to measure critical aspects of schooling and teaching, the
composition of the principal and teacher work force, and conditions in schools.

Please tear off this reference card to use while completing the survey.

What do you need from my school?
A list of all of the full-time and part-time teachers who teach at this school.
Please see the removable reference card on the reverse side for important
information about the listing form.
What happens to the information I report?
A sample of teachers will be selected for the Teacher Survey component of NTPS. The
selected teachers will receive the Teacher Questionnaire which asks for information on their
educational background, work experience, and attitudes toward teaching.
Why is my school’s participation important?
The NTPS is a primary source of information about what is happening in K–12 schools
across the United States from the perspective of administrators and teachers. Only a small
percentage of schools are selected to participate; therefore, your school is important for the
success of this survey.
How does NCES protect the confidentiality of the information I provide?
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).
Thank you for your assistance.

Please tear off this reference card to use while completing the survey.

What do you need from my school?
A list of all of the full-time and part-time teachers who teach at this school. In order to
reduce the burden on your school, we populated your school’s TLF with a list of teachers
from publicly-available sources. We are now asking you to verify the accuracy of the
teacher data.
Please see the removable reference card on the reverse side for important
information about the listing form.
What happens to the information I report?
A sample of teachers will be selected for the Teacher Survey component of NTPS. The
selected teachers will receive the Teacher Questionnaire which asks for information on their
educational background, work experience, and attitudes toward teaching.
Why is my school’s participation important?
The NTPS is a primary source of information about what is happening in K–12 schools
across the United States from the perspective of administrators and teachers. Only a small
percentage of schools are selected to participate; therefore, your school is important for the
success of this survey.
How does NCES protect the confidentiality of the information I provide?
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).
Thank you for your assistance.

• 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, principals, and
teachers, 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 2023-24 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 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, principals, and
teachers, 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 2023-24 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 2023-24 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 2023-24 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 is
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,
