Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report on the Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) of the National Center for Education Statistics presents survey estimates for data on public and private schools, school principals, and teachers. Data reported for schools include particular programs or services offered, number of schools with students receiving Chapter 1 services or free or reduced-price lunch, and graduation and college application rates. Data reported for principals include educational level, experience, and salary. Similar data are reported for teachers, along with data on the number and percentage of continuing and newly hired full-time equivalent teachers. The approximately 81,000 public schools and 26,000 private schools in the survey account for about 76% and 24% respectively of the almost 107,000 schools in the United States in 1993-94. About 41.6 million children, about 89%, were enrolled in the public schools, and about 5 million were in private schools. Ten sections of Technical Notes present information about survey methodology. Twenty-six tables in the text and 26 standard error tables in Appendix A present survey findings. (SLD)

Book excerpt: The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) serves two important purposes for the educational community. The first purpose, at which SASS has been very successful, is providing data that describe and track over time the state of schools and staffing (the capacities of teachers, school libraries, schools, and school districts, and the organization of schools and the teaching profession) in the United States. Major reports--including "Schools and Staffing in the United States" (NCES 93-146; 96-124), "America's Teachers: Profile of a Profession" (NCES 93-025; 97- 460), "Public School Districts in the United States: A Statistical Profile, 1987-88 to 1993-94" (NCES 98-203), and "Public and Private School Principals in the United States: A Statistical Profile, 1987-88 to 1993-94" (NCES 97-455)--have contributed a wealth of information concerning the on-going state of teaching, schooling, and school administration in the U.S. Other smaller, more focused reports, such as "Job Satisfaction among America's Teachers: Effects of Workplace Conditions, Background Characteristics, and Teacher Compensation" (NCES 97-471) and "Public School Choice Programs, 1993-94: Availability and Student Participation" (NCES 97-909) contribute similar information on more specific aspects of the state of schools and staffing in the United States. The second purpose has been under-developed: SASS provides valuable data for gaining "enlightenment" regarding emerging and enduring issues concerning teaching and schools (Boe, 1996) SASS is a tremendous database for describing phenomena. This kind of description helps researchers gain a general knowledge about issues that they can then research in more detail elsewhere. In this way, SASS has enormous potential as a research-question-generator. Moreover, researchers can link data from smaller, focused studies to the nationally and state-by-state representative data provided by SASS. SASS data can provide context for or reinforce the findings of local, in-depth studies. This paper begins with a brief description of the 1999-2000 survey. It then discusses status and trend reports that should be generated to help provide a detailed sense of the state and movement of teaching and schools. It closes with suggestions for more specific research. Appended are: (1) "Essential" Items for Schools and Staffing in the U.S. Profile; and (2) Potential Topics for New or Updated Research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has recently released the 1990-91 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS), an integrated survey of public and private schools, school districts, principals, and teachers, conducted every 3 years. This report presents results from the recent SASS. In 1990-91, there were about 80,000 public schools and about 25,000 private schools in the United States, enrolling about 44.8 million students, almost 40.1 million in public schools and 4.7 million in private schools. Seventy-five percent of central city public schools had enrollments that were 20 percent or more minority. In 1990-91, there were 2.9 million teachers in the elementary schools and secondary schools, more than 2.5 million teachers of whom were in public schools. Seventy-three percent of teachers were female and 87 percent were white. Forty-nine percent of all schools had no minority teachers, and 46 percent of all teachers had a degree higher than a Bachelor's of Arts. In the study period, both public and private schools filled almost all of their approved positions, and 10 percent of public schools and 16 percent of private schools provided teacher retraining to fill fields with anticipated shortages. Information about teacher attitudes is also presented. Sixty-seven tables and 39 figures present survey data. Appendix A contains 27 additional tables by school typology. Appendix B contains the standard errors for selected tables. Appendix C presents technical notes. (SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Center for Education Statistics recently released results of the 1993-94 Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS). SASS, an integrated survey of public and private schools, school districts, principals, and teachers, is the most comprehensive survey of the school work force and teacher supply and demand ever conducted in the United States. First administered in 1987-88, SASS was repeated in 1990-91 and in 1993-94. From now on, it will be repeated at 5-year intervals, with the next administration planned for 1998-99. One year after the SASS, the Teacher Followup Survey collects information from SASS teachers, sampling those who have left teaching and those who have continued to teach. This report uses SASS data to develop a comprehensive portrait of public and private schools and staffing in the United States by focusing on school characteristics. Each table provides data separately for public and private schools. Within each sector, data are shown by community type and then by school level, size, and percent minority enrollment. The nation's 107,000 schools enrolled a total of 46.6 million students in 1993-94. About 5 million were enrolled in private schools. Students were served by about 2.9 million teachers in that year. Appendixes present public school, state, and private school tables, standard errors for selected tables, and technical notes. (Contains 41 figures, 64 tables, and 38 appendix tables.) (SLD)

Book excerpt: This report analyzes changes in public school staffing over time by examining data from the annual editions of the Digest of Education Statistics, which is compiled by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics. The report's main part analyzes changes in public school staffing over the past generation, the fiscal year (FY) 1992 to FY 2009. Particular attention is paid to changes in (a) overall public school staffing relative to changes in the number of public school students, and (b) changes in the number of teachers and non-teaching staff relative to the change in number of students. In reading this report, please keep two issues in mind: (1) Although dramatic increases in staffing in K-12 schools perhaps were warranted in 1950, does that necessarily imply public school staffing should increase forever? Are adding teachers and non-teaching staff at rates higher than increases in students a wise investment?; and (2) Is there an inherent trade-off between the number of public school staff and overall public school staff quality? When public schools hire more staff, does that require hiring less effective personnel and create more bureaucracy to burden classroom teachers? The rest of this report is organized as follows: The next two sections highlight the significant increases in public school staffing in the United States as a whole and the corresponding lack of increases in student achievement. Next, the report considers and--based on the historical data--rejects the claim the federal No Child Left Behind law is responsible for rises in public school staffing, especially among non-teaching personnel. Later sections contain the following: (1) To add context, the report compares public school staffing in the U.S. to countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development; (2) A description--and rejection--of the argument that American public school students today are more disadvantaged than past American students; (3) An explanation of how increases in public school staffing could be harmful to student achievement; (4) Changes in staffing in the individual states and Washington, D.C., between 1992 and 2009; and (5) Thought experiments showing the significant opportunity costs that result from the rapid increase in public school employment. (Contains 7 figures, 9 tables and 34 notes.).
