Abstract: The New Teacher 

Longitudinal Survey will follow a 

sample of public school teachers who 

were in their first year of teaching in 

2007–08. These teachers were first 

interviewed as part of the 2007–08 

Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and 

were also part of the 2008–09 Teacher 

Follow-up Survey. They will be 

contacted again in 2010 as part of a 

second follow-up. Following this small 

subset of the SASS sample for at least 

a decade will provide much needed data 

on teachers’ careers, attrition, and 

mobility.
