Algoma-Manitoulin Ontario Early Years
What is “school readiness to learn”?
“Refers to the child’s ability to meet the tasks demands of school, such as
being cooperative and sitting quietly and listening to the teacher, and to
benefit from the educational activities that are provided by the school.”
Goals of the Early Development Instrument (EDI)
• Measure School Readiness.
• Provide information on populations of children in different communities.
• Monitor populations of children over time.
• Predict how children will do in elementary school and beyond.
Early Development Instrument
• Contains 104 questions grouped into 5 domains.
• Asks teachers the following types of questions about each child in the class:
• How often is the child too tired to for school work?• Is the child well coordinated?• Would you say this child follows instructions,
accepts responsibility and works independently?.
Readiness To Learn Domains• Physical Health and Well Being: children’s motor skills,
energy levels, level of independence, daily living skills.
• Social Knowledge and Competence: children’s ability to control their behaviour, cooperate with others, follow rules, play and work with other children.
• Emotional Maturity: children’s ability to reflect before they act, deal with feelings at an age appropriate level, show empathy.
• Language and Cognitive Development: the extent to which children show an interest in books, reading and writing, and rudimentary math.
• Communication Skills and General Knowledge: the extent to which children have the skills to communicate needs and wants in socially appropriate ways, the symbolic use of language, and age appropriate knowledge.
Readiness To Learn Sub DomainsPhysical Health and Well-Being• Physical readiness for school day• Physical independence• Gross and fine motor skillsSocial Competence• Overall social competence• Responsibility and respect• Approaches to learning• Readiness to explore new things.Emotional Maturity• Prosocial and helping behaviour• Anxious and fearful behaviour• Hyperactivity and inattentionLanguage and Cognitive Development• Basic literacy• Interest in literacy/numeracy and memory• Advanced literacy• Basic numeracyCommunication Skills and General Knowledge

Algoma District - "Not Ready" - School Years 2004/05 & 2005/06
Early Development Instrument (EDI) SK Results
EDI Analysis - Observations1. East Algoma – most improved area in terms of mean scores and “not ready” percentages.
2. East Algoma – Rose to second most “vulnerable” area of the District in 2006.
3. Elliot Lake & Area – saw the greatest decline in terms of mean scores and “not ready” percentages.
4. Elliot Lake & Area – second poorest performing area in 2005. The lowest in 2006.
5. North Algoma – Still one of the least vulnerable areas despite not making many advances in 2006 (in top two).
6. Central Algoma – Improved position as one of the least vulnerable areas with progress in 2005 (in top two).
7. Communication Skills & General Knowledge – weakest domain in riding – due to low scores in East Algoma and Elliot Lake & Area.
8. At a riding level “not ready” percentages did improve but 28% of the 2006 cohort still classified as “not ready” to learn.
