INTRODUCTION – INQ
INQ.002

(As I mentioned earlier,) You and {CHILD} have been selected to take part in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study,
Kindergarten Class of 2010-2011, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education
Statistics. I have some questions for you that ask about {CHILD}'s school and home experiences. The information I collect in
this interview will be extremely valuable in understanding the development of young children and how their early school
experiences can be improved.

All responses that relate to or describe identifiable characteristics of individuals may be used only for statistical purposes
and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose, unless otherwise compelled by law.

Parts of this call will be recorded for quality control purposes.
CAPI INSTRUCTION: REFUSED AND DON'T KNOW DISALLOWED.

Brother: Include biological (full, half), adoptive, step, and foster brothers.
Girlfriend or Partner of CHILD's Parent/Guardian: The female who has a "partner-like" relationship with
one of the child's parents or guardians. "Living as married" is another way of describing the relationship.
Boyfriend or Partner of CHILD's Parent/Guardian: The male who has a "partner-like" relationship with
one of the child's parents or guardians. "Living as married" is another way of describing the relationship.

Cousin: A child of the focal child's uncle, aunt, or cousin.
Other Relative: Refers to relationships that aren't specifically listed, such as great grandmother, niece, or
nephew.
Other Non-relative: Refers to the relationship between two people when there is no family relationship
through blood, marriage, adoption, or partnership (i.e., living together as married). It also refers to more
ambiguous relationships that exist where there are two people living together as married and they have
children. For example, the child's father and the father's girlfriend (who is not the child's mother) live
together as married and the girlfriend's daughter lives with them. The relationship of the girlfriend's
daughter to the child would be siblings if they were married, but since the father and the girlfriend are not
married, she is an "other non-relative." If the "other non-relative" is coded, you will receive a list of other
codes to use if they are more descriptive than "other non-relative."

Biological or Birth Mother: Child's female biological parent. This may be the birth mother, but could also apply to a
mother who used a surrogate mother to have her biological child.
Adoptive Mother: The female who has taken the child into her own family by legal process to raise as her own child.
Step Mother: The female other than the child's mother who is married to the child's father.
Foster Mother: The female with whom the child is placed temporarily, usually through a social service agency and/or a
court.

related and she may not be legally in charge of the affairs of the child even though she is another parent to the child.
This category may also be used if a mother has a child through a surrogate mother, or with a donated egg, and does not
classify the child as biologically related or adopted through a legal process.

Head Start: Head Start is a federally funded early childhood education program designed to improve the schoolreadiness of disadvantaged children (i.e., children from low-income families). Children who participate are usually 3 to 5
years old. Head Start may be offered in a variety of locations. For this question, we are interested in Head Start
services in a family child care program in a private home where the child is cared for by someone who is related to the
child but is not his or her parent.
Rarely, you may find a case in which a respondent reports that the child is in "home Head Start," that is, he/she
participates in Head Start in his/her own home. Generally, this involves the parent acting as the child's teacher,
supplemented by occasional home visits by a Head Start teacher and perhaps some occasional group activities at a

Highest Grade or Year of School Completed: For grades 1-11, enter the exact grade level. If the person you are
asking about completed elementary school, find out the last grade completed. If the respondent says the person
finished 12th grade, ask whether the person received a diploma or got the equivalent of a high school diploma.
Completing a given grade in school should be counted as the number of years it normally takes to complete that grade
level of education, regardless of how many years it actually took the person to finish. This means that for persons who
skipped or repeated grades in elementary school, you will enter the highest grade completed regardless of the number
of years they were in school. This rule is true for elementary school through high school and is especially relevant to
college.
12th grade but no diploma: The person completed the 12th grade, but did not earn a high school diploma or GED.
High school equivalent: This means that the person has a GED. The GED is an exam certified equivalent of a high
school diploma received when the person has not actually received a degree from attending high school, but has
acquired his/her GED (high school equivalency based on passing the GED exam).
High school diploma: A certificate that verifies that a person has successfully completed the required courses of a
high school curriculum and has actually graduated from high school rather than having a GED.
Vocational/technical program after high school but no voc/tech diploma: The person attended this type of
program, but did not earn a degree/diploma/certificate of successful completion of the program. Vocational/trade school
after high school refers to work or trade-related education received after completing high school, but does not include
college. Examples include secretarial school, mechanical or computer training school, etc. Some community colleges
offer vocational training, but this would be considered "1-2 years of college" or "associate's degree" and not vocational
or trade school.
Vocational/technical program after high school: The person attended this type of program and DID earn a
degree/diploma/certificate of successful completion of the program. Vocational/trade school after high school refers to
work or trade-related education received after completing high school, but does not include college. Examples include
secretarial school, mechanical or computer training school, etc. Some community colleges offer vocational training, but
this would be considered "1-2 years of college" or "associate's degree" and not vocational or trade school.
Some college but no degree: The person does not have a 4-year college (bachelor's) degree but has completed a
class for credit at a college or university.
Associate's degree: A 2-year college degree typically earned at a community college (rather than a trade school).
Bachelor's degree: A 4-year college degree earned at a university or 4-year college. It is sometimes called an
"undergraduate degree."
Graduate or professional school but no degree: The person attended a graduate or professional school that
advanced him/her toward a degree beyond a Bachelor's degree (for example, a Master's, Doctorate, or other
professional degree). However, the person did not complete the program or earn the degree.
Master's (MA, MS): Studies beyond a bachelor's degree, but not a Ph.D. or Ed.D.
Doctorate Degree (Ph.D., EDD): Studies beyond a Master's degree that result in a doctorate degree.
Professional degree after bachelor's degree (Medicine/MD; Dentistry/DDS, Law/JD/LLB): Any other graduate
degrees earned with academic studies beyond the bachelor's.
