The Teacher Follow-Up Survey (PFS) is a follow-up survey of public and private elementary and secondary school
teachers who participated in the National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS) during the previous school year. The
purpose of the survey is to determine how many teachers remained at the same school, moved to another school, or
left the profession. It was last fielded in 2021-22, after the 2020-21 NTPS. Historically, the TFS has also been
conducted the school year following the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), the predecessor survey to the NTPS.
Redesigned from the 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. The major
objectives of the TFS are to measure the attrition rate for teachers; examine the characteristics of teachers who
stayed in the profession and those who changed professions or retired and obtain activity or occupational data for
those who left the position of a K-12 teacher. The TFS/PFS main study was approved in June 2024 (OMB#
1850-0617 v.12). In that main study package, we included the line “Details about the contingency incentive will be
provided in a future change request to this package if executed” on page 12 of Part B. NCES wanted to consult the
results of the 2023-24 NTPS experiments before making final decisions regarding TFS incentive. NCES is proposing,
if the contingency incentive is executed, to offer eligible teachers a promised $10 digital incentive otherwise known as
an e-gift card contingent on response to their TFS. This requested change does not affect the approved total cost to
the federal government for conducting this study nor the estimated respondent burden.
