Schools and Staffing Survey, 2011-12

The Schools and Staffing Survey, 2011-12 (SASS 11-12), is a study that is part of the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) program. SASS 11-12 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/sass/) is a survey that covers a wide range of topics from teacher demand, teacher and principal characteristics, general conditions in schools, principals' and teachers' perceptions of school climate and problems in their schools, teacher compensation, district hiring and retention practices, to basic characteristics of the student population. The survey was conducted using mail, email, and telephone interviews. Schools, teachers, librarians, and principals were sampled. Key statistics produced from SASS 11-12 are how many teachers and principals remained at the same school, moved to another school, or left the profession in the year following the SASS administration.
