| Sumario: | This data collection consists of four integrated surveys of schools, administrators, and teachers in the United States. The 1993-1994 survey was expanded to include a student survey, in which information about students was taken from school administrative records, and a library survey, which collected data on school libraries and librarians (presented in Parts 5 and 6, the School Data). Parts 1 and 2, Public and Private Teacher Data, provide information on teaching assignment, teaching experience, certification, professional development, teaching workload, perceptions and attitudes about teaching, teacher salaries and incentives, retirement policies, job mobility, workplace conditions, and school disciplinary and academic problems. Parts 3 and 4, Public and Private Administrator Data, provide information about the training, experience, professional background, and demographic characteristics of school principals, and about the types of school problems principals view as serious. Parts 5 and 6, Public and Private School Data, present data on school characteristics, enrollment, student-staff ratios, programs and services offered, and length of the school day. Variables in Part 7, Public District Data, include information on student enrollment, number of full-time and part-time teachers, demographics of students and teachers, and information on lunch programs.
