conducted from July 30 - August 12, 2004 between the hours
of 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM. I will contact you to schedule a

Census conducts the Teacher follow up survey (TFS) for the
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). At the
request of OMB, an Internet reporting option will be
developed for the 2004-2005 administration of the TFS.

Here is a short paragraph to describe the procedure.

Two Interviewers will arrive at the address you provided.
They will give you a brief introduction about the survey
and then ask you to sign a consent form to allow them to
tape you while you go through the questionnaire using the
internet on your computer. During the interview, one
Interviewer will ask you a series of questions. The other
Interviewer will be video recording you while you are using
the Internet. A couple of follow-up questions will be
asked at the end of the interview. Then, you will sign a
voucher form for your monetary payment. The whole process
should take about 1 hour.
