Summary

This data collection consists of four integrated surveys of public and private schools, administrators, and teachers in the United States. Part 1, the Teacher Demand and Shortage Survey, presents information from schools and local education agencies on student enrollment, number of teachers, position vacancies, new hires, teacher salaries and incentives, and hiring and retirement policies. Part 3, the School Administrator Survey, includes information about training, experience, professional background, and job activities of school principals and headmasters. Questions in Part 5, the Teacher Survey, cover teacher education and training, teaching assignment, teaching experience, certification, teaching workload, perceptions and attitudes about teaching, job mobility, and workplace conditions. Part 7, the School Survey, provides data from elementary and secondary schools on student characteristics, staffing patterns, student-teacher ratios, enrollment by grade, types of programs and services offered, length of school day and school year, graduation and college application rates, and teacher turnover rates.

Restrictions

The data from the four samples are designed to be "linked," that is, teachers can be matched to administrators and to schools. However, the files released by ICPSR are public use files and cannot be linked in this way. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) will do limited linked-file runs for individual users. Contact them directly to explore this option. The restricted-use files are available only to researchers who sign a licensing agreement with National Center for Education Statistics.

Sample

Stratified sample. The SASS system of surveys used a set of linked samples. First, a sample of public and private schools was selected. The same sample was used for the School Administrator Survey. Each public school district that administers one or more of the sample schools in the public sector became part of the sample for the Teacher Demand and Shortage Survey. For each sample school, a list of teachers was obtained and a sample was selected for inclusion in the Teacher Survey.
