Abstract

Two commonly used approaches to capturing information about teachers are random probability surveys and teacher panels. This paper reviews the strengths and limitations of these two approaches in the context of capturing information about the teacher workforce. A case study is then presented drawing upon recent teacher survey data collections in England. Although both designs should continue to play an important role in generating evidence about the teaching profession, random probability surveys of teachers should be used sparingly, and only when they will be properly resourced.
