Abstract: The New Teacher Longitudinal Survey will follow a sample of public school teachers who were in their first year of teaching in 2007-08. These teachers were first interviewed as part of the 2007-08 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) and were also part of the 2008-09 Teacher Follow-up Survey. They will be contacted again in 2010 as part of a second follow-up. Following this small subset of the SASS sample for at least a decade will provide much needed data on teachers' careers, attrition, and mobility.
