Abstract: The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is a nationally representative, longitudinal study of more than 20,000 ninth graders in 944 schools who will be followed through their secondary and postsecondary years. The main study students will be re-surveyed in 2012 when most are high school 11th graders. 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 includes a new student assessment in algebraic skills, reasoning, and problem solving and, like past studies, will survey students, their parents, school administrators, and school counselors. Students will be administered a questionnaire and an assessment instrument. This submission will ask for the clearance for a field test of the high school transcript collection and college update of HSLS:2009 high school students who were in 9th grade in the base year; second follow-up panel maintenance; and a 60-day waiver for the full scale submission for these activities.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The primary change associated with this submission is the shift from school-based student data collection to the College Update collection to occur after students had graduated high school. The high school transcript collection is also a new component of data collection. Both have been discussed, but not fully described, in prior submissions. Because the previously cleared First Follow-up Full Scale Collection (OMB# 1850-0852 v.9) will not have finished by the time the field test data collections will begin, there is an apparent increase to currently approved respondent burden.
