Welcome to the Web home of the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2)!
The National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER), Institute of Education Sciences (IES), is sponsoring an expense paid 3-day advanced studies seminar on the use of the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) database in Washington D.C. on July 14-16, 2009. Applications closed. Tell us if you are interested in attending a seminar in the future.
Raw data now available.
NLTS2 is:
- Being funded by the U.S. Department of Education and is documenting the experiences of a national sample of students who were 13 to 16 years of age in 2000 as they move from secondary school into adult roles.
- Focusing on a wide range of important topics, such as high school coursework, extracurricular activities, academic performance, postsecondary education and training, employment, independent living, and community participation.
- Producing information of interest to many audiences, including state and local education agencies, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Department of Education, parents, teachers, researchers, advocates, and policy-makers.
We are beginning our final round of phone interviews. Thank you to the almost 6,000 parents and guardians who completed phone interviews in 2007. Almost 3,000 youth interviews also took place. We are indebted to them for contributing their valuable time to provide information. We greatly appreciate their participation and continued support for this important study. It has been rewarding to work with parents/youth around the country and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Results from the NLTS2 Wave 4 parent/youth interview will be available soon.
