Abstract: 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 children’s 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 fourthgrade data collection, and (3) tracking 

students for the spring 2016 fifth-grade 

data collection.
