Scope of Study

This collection provides information about teachers and administrators and the general condition of America's elementary and secondary schools. Parts 1 and 2, Public and Private Teacher Data, provide information about teachers, such as teaching field, teaching workload, and teaching experience. Parts 3 and 4, Public and Private Administrator (Principal) Data, provide information about the training, experience, professional background, and demographic characteristics of school principals. Parts 5 and 6, Public and Private School Data, include information about schools such as policies, staffing patterns, student characteristics, programs and services offered, and activities related to various school reform issues. Part 7, Public District Data, provides information about school districts, such as enrollment and teacher counts, graduation requirements, and district policies regarding hiring and compensation of teachers, accountability reporting, and other measures of recent reforms.

These data are released in accordance with the provisions of the General Education Provisions Act (GEPA). GEPA protects privacy by ensuring that respondents will never be individually identified. Under Public Law 100-297, the National Center for Education Statistics is responsible for protecting the privacy of individual respondents and is releasing these data to be used for statistical purposes only. Record matching or deductive disclosure by any user is prohibited.
