About this manual

This manual guides kindergarten teachers through using the US-EDI software to complete early development assessments for children. It covers setup, logging in, navigating the portal, accessing questionnaires, and submitting completed forms. Teachers are instructed to review student data, manage class lists, and handle cases where parental consent is declined. The manual also explains how to submit completed assessments and provides contact information for support.

After completing all assessments, teachers fill out a feedback form to help improve the program. Data is anonymized and aggregated for reporting, with school-level reports available in the fall and community-level reports shared with local services.
