HELP Unveils New & Improved MDI Data Dashboard
The Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) is delighted to announce updates to the Middle Years Development Instrument (MDI) Data Dashboard! The Dashboard is an online and interactive tool for exploring MDI data from participating BC school districts and independent schools over the past 6 years. This platform provides a comprehensive view of children’s well-being and assets in their lives at both the district and neighbourhood levels, offering easy access to data for informed decision-making.
MDI Well-Being Infographic - 2024-25
Part of a series of MDI Infographics, the MDI Well-being Infographic shares what children in grades 4 to 8 say about their health and happiness in a simple and engaging form. One in three children in BC report feeling optimistic, connected, and supported. The data highlights trends over time and points to the role schools and communities play in strengthening well-being.
MDI Data Dashboard
The MDI dashboard allows you to explore deeper and interact with MDI data across space, years and grade levels with greater control. The MDI dashboard helps replace the MDI neighbourhood profiles we have typically released in the past in the MDI School District and Community Reports.
EDI Data Dashboard
The EDI dashboard allows you to explore EDI data over the past 20 years in greater depth across space and time with greater control and across more boundaries than ever before. The EDI dashboard replaces the community profiles we have typically released in the past.
