The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is an international survey of teachers and school principals about teaching, as well as school learning environments more broadly. TALIS' main objective is to provide internationally comparable indicators on teachers and teaching towards the goal of helping countries review current conditions and develop informed education policy. TALIS offers an opportunity for teachers and school principals to provide their perspectives on the state of education in their own countries, allowing for a global view of teachers and the education systems in which they work.
TALIS is a collaborative effort by member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and partner countries.
TALIS was first administered in 2008 in 24 countries (the United States did not participate). Results of TALIS 2008 are available at the OECD website. TALIS will be administered again in 2013. Thirty-three countries, including the United States, have confirmed participation in TALIS 2013.
