Summary
This report focuses on the methodological issues involved in a longitudinal study of teachers' careers. It answers such questions such as: which teachers should be studied?; should NCES follow a probability sample of all teachers at varying points in their careers, or should they focus on teachers at a particular career juncture?; for how long should teachers be followed?; and many others.
