The Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2017-2018 (MGLS:2017) is the first study sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education (ED), to follow a nationally-representative sample of students as they enter and move through the middle grades (grades 6-8). The data collected through repeated measures of key constructs will provide a rich descriptive picture of the academic experiences and development of students during these critical years and will allow researchers to examine associations between contextual factors and student outcomes. The study will focus on student achievement in mathematics and literacy along with measures of student socioemotional wellbeing and other outcomes. The study will also include a special sample of students with different types of disabilities that will provide descriptive information on their outcomes, educational experiences, and special education services. Baseline data for the MGLS:2017 will be collected from a nationally-representative sample of 6th grade students beginning in January 2018, with annual follow-ups beginning in January 2019 and in January 2020 when most of the students in the sample will be in grades 7 and 8, respectively. This request is to contact and recruit public school districts and public and private schools, beginning in January 2016, to participate in the MGLS:2017 Operational Field Test (OFT) which will take place from January to June 2017. The primary purpose of the OFT is to obtain information on recruiting, particularly for the targeted disability groups; obtaining a tracking sample that can be used to study mobility patterns in subsequent years; and testing protocols and administrative procedures. The OFT will inform the materials and procedures for the main study base year and follow-up data collections. The base year data collection will begin in January 2018. Because the MGLS:2017 Item Validation Field Test (IVFT) recruitment and data collection will still be ongoing at the time this request is approved, the burden and materials from the MGLS:2017 Recruitment for 2016 IVFT request (OMB# 1850-0911 v.3, 5, and 7) and from the MGLS:2017 IVFT Data Collection (OMB# 1850-0911 v.4) are being carried over in this submission.

The apparent increase in burden from the last approved package is due to the fact that this request includes burden for MGLS:2017 OFT recruitment and the carried over burden for MGLS:2017 IVFT recruitment and data collection activities, while the previous approval was only for MGLS:2017 IVFT recruitment and data collection.
