### Why does the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) conduct the National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS)? The NTPS is designed to measure critical aspects of schooling and teaching, the composition of the principal and teacher work force, and conditions in schools. What do you need from my school? A list of all of the full-time and part-time teachers who teach at this school. Please see the removable reference card on the reverse side for important information about the listing form. What happens to the information I report? A sample of teachers will be selected for the Teacher Survey component of NTPS. The selected teachers will receive the Teacher Questionnaire which asks for information on their educational background, work experience, and attitudes toward teaching. Why is my school’s participation important? Only a small number of schools are selected to participate in NTPS. Therefore, your school represents many other schools. How does NCES protect the confidentiality of the information I provide? Your responses are protected from disclosure by federal statute (20 U.S.C., §9573). All responses that relate to or describe identifiable characteristics of individuals may be used only for statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose, unless otherwise compelled by law.
