Title of Collection: Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017 (MGLS:2017) Field Test 2015 Recruitment

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW Type of Review: A new information collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 167

Abstract: The Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2016–2017 (MGLS:2017) is the first study sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), to follow a nationally-representative sample of students as they enter and move through the middle grades (grades 6–8). The data collected through repeated measures of key constructs will provide a rich descriptive picture of the academic experiences and development of students during these critical years and will allow researchers to examine associations between contextual factors and student outcomes. The study will focus on student achievement in mathematics and literacy along with measures of student socioemotional wellbeing and other outcomes. The study will also include an oversample of students with different types of disabilities that will provide descriptive information on their outcomes, educational experiences, and special education services. Baseline data for the MGLS:2017 will be collected from a nationally-representative sample of 6th grade students in Spring of 2017 with annual follow-ups in Spring 2018 and Spring 2019 when most of the students in the sample will be in grades 7 and 8, respectively. This request is to contact and recruit public school districts and public and private schools to participate in the Spring 2015 field test for the MGLS:2017.
