1991-92 Teacher Followup Survey Data File User's Manual. Restricted Use Version. Schools and Staffing Survey.
Whitener, Summer; And Others
The 1991-92 Teacher Followup Survey (TFS) updates information on teacher career patterns and plans from the 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) of the National Center for Education Statistics. The TFS is the fifth component of the SASS and focuses on a subsample of about 7,200 teachers. Major objectives are to determine (1) the attrition rate for teachers; (2) the characteristics of those who stay in the profession; and (3) activity or occupation data for those who leave, as well as career information for those who keep teaching. This user manual considers sample design, data collection, editing procedures, imputation of data, weighting, variance estimation, and other technical aspects. Five tables illustrate the discussion. Five appendixes contain the actual questionnaires and additional technical notes about the conduct of the survey. (SLD)
