The sample design used in the base year is documented in chapter 3.

Chapter 2 also provides information on the development of the direct algebra assessment and the scoring procedures and psychometric characteristics. Chapter 2 describes the base-year data collection instruments, including both the development and content of the student, parent, science and mathematics teacher, counselor, and school administrator questionnaires. It includes an overview and history of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) program of longitudinal high school cohort studies, summarizes the HSLS:09 objectives, and supplies an overview of the base-year and longitudinal study design. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to HSLS:09. It also provides the necessary documentation for use of the public-use data files, and information that will be helpful to analysts in accessing and understanding the restricted-use files.
#HIGH SCHOOL LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF 2009 CODEBOOK MANUAL#
This manual has been produced to familiarize data users with the design, and the procedures followed for data collection and processing, of the base year of the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). Further information on study design and purposes can be found in chapter 1 of this document. High school transcripts will be collected in the fall of 2013, and a second follow-up will take place a few years beyond high school graduation.

A postsecondary update will take place in the summer of 2013, to learn about the cohort's postsecondary plans and decisions. Dropouts and transfer students will be followed, as well as those who remain in the base-year school. The first follow-up of HSLS:09 will take place in the spring of 2012 when most sample members will be in the spring of their 11th grade. Students' parents, principals, and mathematics and science teachers and the school's lead counselor completed surveys on the phone or on the Web. Students took a mathematics assessment and survey online. The HSLS:09 base year took place in the 2009-10 school year, with a randomly selected sample of fall-term 9th-graders in more than 900 public and private high schools with both a 9th and an 11th grade. The core research questions for HSLS:09 explore secondary to postsecondary transition plans and the evolution of those plans the paths into and out of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and the educational and social experiences that affect these shifts. The High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) is the fifth in a series of National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) secondary longitudinal studies.
