What is the EDI?The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is a questionnaire designed to measure children’s development in kindergarten. Designed by Drs. Dan Offord and Magdalena Janus of McMaster University, the EDI is a checklist that kindergarten teachers complete for each child in their class. The EDI has been imple-mented in many communities across Canada and increasingly in international settings.

The EDI is a population level measure of child development. The results are reported at the group, NOT the individual level.

The 5 ScalesThe EDI consists of 104 core questions grouped into five scales, or aspects, of children’s development, including:

Early Development Instrument

· Fine and gross motor development· Levels of energy· Daily preparedness for school (tired, late, hungry)· Washroom independence· Established handedness

Physical Health and Well-Being

· Cooperation and respect for others (children and adults)· Ability to work within the school environment· Socially appropriate behaviour during school activities· Self-control, self-confidence

Social Competence

· Pro-social behaviour: helping, tolerance, empathy· Aggressive behaviour · Anxiety, hyperactivity, inattention, impulsiveness· Informal, peer-to-peer interaction

Emotional Maturity

· Interest in books, reading, language-related activities (rhyming, group reading)

· Literacy: ability to recognise letters, read and write simple words· Interest in simple math related activities· Numeracy: ability to recognise and compare numbers, count,

sort, etc.

Language and Cognitive Development

· Ability to clearly communicate one’s own needs and understand others in English

· Clear articulation· Active participation in story-telling · Interest in and general knowledge about the world

EDI StarplotsEDI starplots show the percentage of vulnerability on each EDI scale for a given School District. When reading the starplot map, larger triangles represent higher vulnerability and smaller triangles represent lower vulnerability for each scale of the EDI.

How is the EDI Analyzed? The EDI is most commonly used in B.C. to understand the vulner-ability of the population of children. The determination of vulner-ability is based on the distribution of scores from the first complete round of data collection in the province. The vulner-ability threshold or cut-off is the EDI score that delineates the children who scored in the bottom of the distribution. Children who fall below the cut-off are said to be vulnerable on that scale of development.

The appropriate interpre-tation of vulnerability is that the child is, on average, more likely to be limited in his or her devel-opment than a child who scores above the cut-off. Results included in this map package show the proportion of children who are vulnerable in each domain, as well as the proportion that are vulnerable on one or more domain. To date, three rounds of data collection have been completed in every school district in the Province. After the first provincial data collection, the vulnerability cut-offs were converted into fixed scores for each scale of children's development. These scores serve as a “baseline” of the state of early child development in kindergarten, and create a stable unit of comparison to show how vulnerabilities may change over time.

EDI MapsThe maps in this package show the percentage of children that are vulnerable on each scale of the EDI.

EDI Colour ClassificationThe EDI map format uses colour to ease map interpretation. EDI results have been classified into quintiles (or fifths) based on the fixed score results established after the first provincial data collection. School Districts with low vulnerability are depicted by the dark green. The middle range of vulnerability is shown in the light yellow and School Districts with high vulnerability are depicted by the dark red.

Things to Remember:Children’s scores are mapped by their area of residence, not by where they go to school.

School Districts are classified from low to high vulnerability based on the province wide data distribution.

School District EDI populations range from 20 to 4370 kinder-garten children. Data is only shown for neighbourhoods with more than 35 kindergarten children.
