Trends Analysis: EDI - Vulnerable Children

The Early Development Instrument (EDI) is administered by kindergarten teachers, and assesses the developmental readiness of a group of children. Children are considered vulnerable when some aspect of their development (physical, social/emotional or intellectual) is delayed at kindergarten entry. Examining EDI results over time allows us to assess trends in the percentage of kindergarten children in the region’s school districts who are vulnerable (Human Early Learning Partnership, 2013). Data for this indicator were acquired from the University of British Columbia Human Early Learning Partnership.
