The Teacher Follow-Up Survey was designed to update data on teacher career patterns and plans and to determine attrition rates. A subsample of teachers who were in the profession during the school year 1987-1988 were queried: teachers who left the teaching profession between the school years 1987-1988 and 1988-1989 (leavers) and teachers who remained in the profession (stayers). Information in this revised collection is given separately for public school teachers (Part 1) and private school teachers (Part 2). Questions were asked on topics such as current activity, occupation, career patterns, educational pursuits, future plans, attitudes toward the teaching profession, and overall job satisfaction.
