The Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of 2017-18 (MGLS:2017) is the first study conducted by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) 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 students with disabilities for whom descriptive information on their outcomes, educational experiences, and special
education services will be collected. Base-year data for MGLS:2017 will be collected from a nationally representative sample of
sixth-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. In preparation for year two of the national data
collection, referred to as the Main Study, the data collection instruments and procedures must be further field tested. An Item
Validation Field Test (IVFT) was conducted in the winter/spring 2016 to determine the psychometric properties of items and the
predictive potential of assessment and survey items so that valid, reliable, and useful assessment and survey instruments
could be developed for the Main Study. An Operational Field Test (OFT) was conducted between January and May 2017 to
test the near-final instruments and the recruitment and data collection processes and procedures in preparation for year one of
the Main Study. District and school recruitment for the Main Study began in April 2017. OMB approved the Main Study Base
Year (MS1), Operational Field Test First Follow-up (OFT2), and Tracking and Recruitment for Main Study First Follow-up
(MS2) in October 2017 with the latest change requests in January 2018 (OMB# 1850-0911 v.16-18). This request is (1) to add
out of school data collection opportunities for students in schools that are unable to participate and (2) to revise panel
maintenance materials for parents.
