including through the use of information technology. Please note that

    Title of Collection: 2018 Teaching and Learning International 
Survey (TALIS 2018) Main Study.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0888.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 4,368.

    Abstract: The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is 
an international survey of teachers and principals that focuses on the 
working conditions of teachers and the teaching and learning practices 
in schools. TALIS was first administered in 2008 and is conducted every 
five years. Having participated in 2013 but not in 2008, the United 
States will administer TALIS for the second time in 2018. TALIS is 
sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 
(OECD). In the United States, TALIS is conducted by the National Center 
for Education Statistics (NCES), of the Institute of Education Sciences 
within the U.S. Department of Education. TALIS 2018 will address 
teacher training and professional development, teachers' appraisal, 
school climate, school leadership, teachers' instructional approaches, 
teachers' pedagogical practices, and their experience with and support 
for teaching diverse populations. In February 2017, the TALIS 2018 
field test was conducted to evaluate newly developed teacher and school 
questionnaire items and test the survey operations. The recruitment of 
schools for the 2018 main study sample was approved in September 2016 
with the latest change request approved in June 2017 (OMB# 1850-0888 v. 
4-6). This request is to conduct the TALIS 2018 main study.
