MDI: New 2024-2025 Reports and Resources Available!

MDI School District Reports 2024-25 are now available to access on the HELP website. These reports provide a comprehensive overview of Middle Years Development Instrument (MDI) results for the 35 school districts in BC that participated in MDI data collection the 2024-25 school year, with more than 40,000 children in grades 4 through 8 completing a questionnaire.

New MDI Resources for Educators! 

HELP is also excited to be releasing a new MDI Lesson Series designed to provide educators with a collection of lessons they can use to introduce the MDI to their students and help them integrate the survey and their school or district results into their classroom curriculum in meaningful and relevant ways that also align with the British Columbia Curriculum and Core Competencies.  

The lessons can be used individually or together to enrich and enhance BC middle grades students’ educational experience. Designed to be short and easy to implement, the lessons require few materials or resources. Implementation guidance is provided to help educators determine the best way to adapt and deliver the learning experiences in their context. 

Lesson Series Topics 

The MDI Lesson Series is divided into three main topics: 

• Lesson Series 1: Getting to Know the MDI — featuring three short lessons that introduce students to the survey including its dimensions and how results are reported. Available now
• Lesson Series 2: Using MDI Data — featuring several short lessons that integrate MDI data into academic subject areas such as math and social studies. Coming soon
• Lesson Series 3: Taking Action with Your MDI Results — supports the design and implementation of service-learning projects that students can create to take action based on their MDI results. Coming soon
