(MGLS:2017) Main Study First Followup (MS2) Tracking and Recruitment and

Abstract: The Middle Grades

(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
focuses on student achievement in
mathematics and literacy along with
measures of student socioemotional
wellbeing and other outcomes. The
study includes students with disabilities
for whom descriptive information on
their outcomes, educational
experiences, and special education
services are being collected. In
preparation for the Main Study (MS),
the data collection instruments and
procedures were field tested. An Item
Validation Field Test (IVFT) was
conducted from January through May
2016 to determine the psychometric
properties of assessment and survey
items and the predictive potential of
items so that valid, reliable, and useful
assessment and survey instruments
could be developed for the Main Study.
The MGLS:2017 Operational Field Test
(OFT) Base Year (OFT1) data collection
was conducted from January through
May 2017 to test the near-final
instruments and recruitment and data
collection procedures and materials in
preparation for the MGLS:2017 Main
Study Base Year (MS1). The MS1 data
collection took place from January to
August 2018, and the OFT First Followup (OFT2) data collections from
February to May 2018. OFT2 was
conducted primarily to obtain
information on recruiting, particularly
for students in three focal IDEA-defined
disability groups: specific learning
disability, autism, and emotional
disturbance; obtain a tracking sample
that can be used to study mobility
patterns in subsequent years; and test
protocols, items, and administrative
procedures. The MGLS:2017 Main
Study First Follow-up (MS2) Tracking
and Recruitment and Operational Field
Test Second Follow-up (OFT3) were
approved in September 2018 with the
latest update approved in December
2018 (OMB# 1850–0911 v.20–22). This
current request is to: (1) Update contact
materials to reference the administrative
records collection, (2) introduce a $10
incentive for panel maintenance
participants, (3) update the student
roster form in Appendix T for the fall
2019 MS2 tracking and recruitment
activities, and (4) introduce a flyer
designed to encourage the return of
parent permission forms in explicit
permission schools.
