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 2015-16 National Teacher and
Principal Survey. You will represent thousands of other principals, so it is important
that you respond to this survey.
Your responses are protected from disclosure by federal statute (20 U.S.C.,
§9573). All responses that relate to or describe identifiable characteristics of
individuals may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed,
or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose, unless otherwise compelled by
law.
