Description

The restricted-use codebook contains the count of responses for each data item and all components of SASS in 2003-2004 and the 2004-2005 TFS. The TFS data and User's manual are the added features to this re-release of the 2003-2004 SASS restricted-use ECB.

Detailed Methodology

Sample

SASS used a stratified probability sample design to ensure that the samples of schools, principals, teachers, districts, and school library media centers contained sufficient numbers for reliable estimates. Public and private schools were oversampled into groups based on certain characteristics. After schools were stratified and sampled, teachers within the schools were also stratified and sampled based on their characteristics.
