Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11 (ECLS-K:2011) is a survey that focuses on children's early school experiences beginning with kindergarten and continuing through the fifth grade. It includes interviews with parents, teachers, school administrators, and non-parental care providers, as well as direct child assessments. This submission updates the field test submission of fiscal year 2009 (OMB# 1850-0750 v.5), summarizes the field test results, and includes the final instruments to be used for the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 kindergarten national data collection, with collection activities scheduled to begin in Summer 2010. This package also outlines and seeks a 60-day federal register notice waiver for the upcoming OMB clearance submission for (1) a possible addition of vision and hearing screenings to the kindergarten data collection and (2) the Fall 2011 first grade recruitment and data collection, Spring 2012 first grade recruitment materials and recruitment burden, and for tracking students for the first and second grade data collections-all of which are expected to have only minor changes to the materials, instruments, and processes already approved in the field test package (OMB# 1850-0750 v.5).
