About TFS
This is a study of public and private school teachers in elementary and secondary schools and is part of the NTPS study, which collects information from U.S. elementary and secondary schools and their staff. Use this study to learn about teacher retention and attrition rates, characteristics of teachers who stayed in the teaching profession and those who changed professions or retired, activity and occupational information for those who left the position of a K-12 teacher, reasons for moving to a new school or leaving the K-12 teaching profession, and job satisfaction.

Data Organization
Each table has an associated excel and excel SE file, which are grouped together in a folder in the dataset (one folder per table). The folders are named based on the excel file names, as they were when downloaded from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) website.

In the TFS folder, there is a catalog csv that provides a crosswalk between the folder names and the table titles.

The documentation folder contains (1) codebooks for TFS generated in NCES datalabs, (2) questionnaires for TFS downloaded from the study website and (3) reports related to TFS found in the NCES resource library.
