early learning, and school progress. The 

ECLS program studies deliver national 

data on children’s status at birth and at 

various points thereafter; children’s 

transitions to nonparental care, early 

care and education programs, and 

school; and children’s experiences and 

growth through the elementary grades. 

The Early Childhood Longitudinal 

Study, Kindergarten Class of 2023–24 

(ECLS–K:2024) is the fourth cohort in 

the series of early childhood 

longitudinal studies. The study will 

advance research in child development 

and early learning by providing a 

detailed and comprehensive source of 

current information on children’s early 

learning and development, transitions 

into kindergarten and beyond, and 

progress through school. The ECLS– 

K:2024 will provide data about the 

population of children who will be 

kindergartners in the 2023–24 school 

year. Collecting parent data beginning in 

the fall of kindergarten will enable the 

study to measure influences on 

children’s development before entry 

into formal schooling, including 

children’s home environments and 

access to early care and education. The 

ECLS–K:2024 will focus on children’s 

early school experiences continuing 

through the fifth grade, and will include 

collection of data from parents, teachers, 

and school administrators, as well as 

direct child assessments. The request to 

conduct a field test of the ECLS–K:2024 

kindergarten and first-grade data 

collection activities to evaluate the 

design of the national study’s 

kindergarten and first-grade surveys and 

child assessments, as well as the 

operational procedures (that is, 

sampling and recruitment) for the 

national kindergarten and first-grade 

data collections in the fall 2023, spring 

2024, and spring 2025, was approved on 

February 15, 2022 (OMB# 1850–0750 

v.24). Planned for August–November 

2022, the ECLS–K:2024 K–1 field test 

will be followed by the fall (August– 

December 2023) and spring (March–July 

2024) kindergarten national data 

collections, and the spring (March–July 

2025) first-grade national data 

collection—all of which will be 

requested under later clearance 

submissions. This request is to update 

study respondent materials, web and 

paper surveys, and website designs that 

will be used in the K–1 field test data 

collection activities. The revisions in 

this package were made based on 

additional review after programming 

and testing the survey instruments and 

also incorporate changes based on 

teacher and parent focus group feedback 

(OMB# 1850–0803 v.309).
