    Title of Collection: National Teacher and Principal Survey of 2019-
2020 (NTPS 2019-20) Preliminary Field Activities.
    OMB Control Number: 1850-0598.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.

    Abstract: The National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), 
conducted biennially 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 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. 
This request is to contact districts and schools in order to begin 
preliminary activities for NTPS 2019-20, namely: (a) Contacting and 
seeking research approvals from special contact districts, where 
applicable, (b) notifying districts that their school(s) have been 
selected for NTPS 2019-20, and (c) notifying sampled schools of their 
selection for the survey and verifying their mailing addresses.
