This report presents selected findings from the Current Teacher and Former Teacher questionnaires of the 2021-22 Teacher Follow-up Survey (TFS). The TFS is a longitudinal component of the National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS), which is a nationally representative survey of public and private K-12 schools, principals, and teachers in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The 2021-22 TFS followed up with a sample of 2020-21 NTPS teachers in the school year after the NTPS data collection and included those who left teaching, as well as those who continued to teach. When examined together, the results of the TFS and NTPS can provide insight on many different educational issues related to teachers, including the retention of teachers in public and private schools and teachers' job satisfaction. The purpose of this First Look is to provide summaries of the new data collected using tables of descriptive information. Selected findings presented in the tables and text show the range of information available on the 2021-22 TFS data files. Findings presented in the text do not include all differences between groups and do not emphasize any one issue. Results shown in this report are not causal. Many of the variables in the report relate to one another, but only simple comparisons are presented, which do not account for all possible relationships.
