Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011) Spring Third-Grade National Collection, Fourth-Grade Recruitment, and Fifth-Grade Tracking
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011), sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), is a survey that focuses on childrens early school experiences beginning with kindergarten and continuing through the fifth grade. It includes the collection of data from parents, teachers, school administrators, and nonparental care providers, as well as direct child assessments. Like its sister study, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99 (ECLS-K), the ECLS-K:2011 is exceptionally broad in its scope and coverage of child development, early learning, and school progress, drawing together information from multiple sources to provide rich data about the population of children who were kindergartners in the 2010-11 school year. This submission requests OMBs clearance for (1) a spring 2014 third-grade national data collection; (2) recruitment for the spring 2015 fourth-grade data collection, and (3) tracking students for the spring 2016 fifth-grade data collection.
US Code:
20 USC 9543
Name of Law: Education Sciences Reform Act
The increase in the burden requested for this collection as compared to the burden last approved under OMB# 1850-0750 is due to the fact that the child questionnaire plus another round of hearing evaluations have been added to the spring third-grade data collection, and because third grade tracking and recruitment and fourth grade tracking are being carried over from the previous clearance.
