First-Year Educator Survey Information

Since 2007, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), in collaboration with the University of Missouri’s Office of Social and Economic Data Analysis (OSEDA) and, more recently, the University of Missouri’s Institute of Public Policy (IPP), has surveyed first-year teachers in Missouri public schools and their supervisors each spring. Together, the two surveys form a statewide data collection effort known collectively as the First-Year Teacher Survey. Similar surveys aimed at first-year principals and school counselors began in 2009 and 2017, respectively.
