Abstract: The Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) is a nationally representative longitudinal study of two high school grade cohorts (spring 2002 tenth-graders and spring 2004 twelfth-graders) comprising over 16,000 sample members. The study focuses on achievement growth, and its correlates, in the high school years; the family and school social context of secondary education; and transitions from high school to postsecondary education and/or the labor market. Major issues for the postsecondary years include postsecondary educational access and choice, and persistence and baccalaureate and sub-baccalaureate attainment, as well as the work experiences of the non-college-bound, and other markers of adult status, such as family formation and civic participation. Data collections took place in 2002, 2004, 2006 (two years out of high school), and now a final data collection will take place in 2012, when most sample members are around 26 years of age. This submission requests OMB's approval for batch tracing for the third follow-up 2011 field test and 2012 full scale respondents.
