The Early Development Instrument (EDI) by TECCS.
Transforming Early Childhood Education, right here.
We are part of a national initiative called Transforming Early Childhood Community Systems (TECCS,) developed to help match proven school readiness solutions with the unique needs faced by communities like ours. In other words, we’re here to put the focus back on our children’s early education. We developed this website to present to you important findings based on observations made by kindergarten teachers on each child in their class. Please use our interactive map to learn more about the school readiness status of the children of Brownsville, Los Fresnos and Port Isabel broken down by geographic area and socio-demographic indicators.
