Abstract: This report summarizes the potential for teacher lists obtained from commercial vendors for enhancing sampling frames for the National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS). We investigate three separate vendor lists, and compare coverage rates across a range of school and teacher characteristics. Across all vendors, coverage rates are higher for regular, non-charter schools. Vendor A stands out as having higher coverage rates than the other two, and we recommend further evaluating Vendor A’s teacher lists during the upcoming 2014-2015 NTPS Field Test.
