processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that

    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.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10,525.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,322.
    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 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. 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.
