2004-05 Teacher Follow-up Survey New School Data File

Description

This restricted-use file contains the CCD and PSS ID codes for the schools to which "movers" moved in the 2004-05 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS). It is a merge file intended for researchers who have the SASS/TFS restricted-use data.

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.

Method of data collection

Survey (self- or interviewer-administered)

Frequency of data collection
