The TALIS 2018 U.S. restricted-use teacher and school data files include NCES school IDs that facilitate merging with the Common Core of Data (CCD) for public schools and the Private School Universe Survey (PSS) for private schools. The restricted-use datasets contain two additional variables: NCESSCH (the NCES unique public school identification code) and PPIN (the private school’s unique identification number). These two variables allow users with restricted-use licenses to link TALIS school ID numbers to the school ID numbers as they appear in the publicly available Common Core of Data (CCD) or the Private School Universe Survey (PSS). These are add-on files that do not contain weight variables or replicate weights, and therefore need to be merged with the U.S. teacher and school data files in the international database before any analysis can be conducted. The U.S. data files in the international database can be downloaded from the OECD at http://www.oecd.org/education/talis/talis-2018-data.htm.
