Summary

This survey is a followup to the Teacher Survey from SCHOOLS AND STAFFING SURVEY, 1987-1988: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 9846) and is the fifth component of the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), conducted one year after the base-year data collection. The other four components of the SASS are the Teacher Demand and Shortage Survey, School Administrator Survey, School Survey, and Teacher Survey. The Teacher Followup Survey (TFS), designed to update data on teacher career patterns and plans and to determine attrition rates, queries a subsample of teachers in the profession during the school year 1987-1988 and has two components: teachers who left the teaching profession between the school years 1987-1988 and 1988-1989 (leavers) and teachers who remained in the profession (stayers). For both groups, 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.

Data Collection Notes

  1. (1) A raw data file was created by ICPSR from the SAS transport file and has been formatted to correspond to the codebook (which includes unweighted frequencies for public and private schools separately). However, some of the frequencies listed in the codebook are not accurate and do not reflect the frequencies generated from the raw data file or the SAS transport file. The codebook has not been revised to reflect these discrepancies. (2) The SAS transport file contains values recoded to system missing. (3) The variable CNTLNUM has no label in the SAS transport file but has been assigned the label "Control Number" by ICPSR in the data definition statements.
