Oakland Unified School District's
EARLY DEVELOPMENT INSTRUMENT RESULTS
Welcome to OUSD’s EDI website. Our goal is to enable you to explore and understand the district’s data on young children to inform continuous improvement efforts.
What is the EDI?
Developed at the Offord Center at McMaster University, the EDI has been used for years in communities across the United States and Canada, and nationwide in Australia.
The EDI is a community snapshot of children’s health, development, and school readiness. The results inform place-based planning to optimize healthy development for all young children. Stakeholders can use the results to look back and assess how the Oakland early childhood community can better prepare children for school. The results can also help us look forward to address the needs of students entering Kindergarten as they progress through school in OUSD.
Importantly, the EDI is not a diagnostic tool or screener for individual children. Additionally it will not be used to evaluate individual teachers, nor will student-identifying data be shared.
Acknowledgements
We would like to thank the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and UCLA’s Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities for their support in the collection and analysis of Oakland’s EDI data as well as their contributions to the information presented on this website. We are also grateful to Raise DC’s Our Children, Our Community, Our Change campaign, a partnership with the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education, as this website draws heavily from their work.
