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. NTPS
2023-24 preliminary activities were approved in December 2022 (OMB# 1850-0598 v.41-42). OMB approved the main
study for 2023-24 in June 2023 (OMB# 1850-0598 v.43), with changes and revisions approved in January 2024 (v.44)
and April 2024 (v.45 & v.46).
This request adds an e-mail and letter to principals and teachers who completed the 2023-24 NTPS. These materials,
signed by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, thank principals and teachers for participating in this
study. These changes do not affect the cost to the government or participant burden.
