*Abstract:*                     The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is a nationally representative, longitudinal study of more than 20,000 9th graders in 944 schools who will be followed through their secondary and postsecondary years. The study focuses on understanding students' trajectories from the beginning of high school into university or the workforce and beyond. What students decide to pursue when, why, and how are crucial questions for HSLS:09, especially, but not solely, in regards to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses, majors, and careers. This study will include a new student assessment in algebraic skills, reasoning, and problem solving and like past studies, will survey students, their parents, math and science teachers, school administrators, and school counselors. This first wave of data collection for HSLS:09 will produce not only a nationally representative dataset but also ten individual state representative datasets for each of ten states. The attached change memo reflects changes to the survey instruments and operations based on results of the field test conducted in the fall of 2008.
