Pre-Kindergarten Early Learning Inventory

The OSDE has developed the Early Learning Inventory (ELI) tool for use in Oklahoma Pre-Kindergarten classrooms.

The ELI is an observational measure designed to help educators understand and respond to students’ individual academic and social-emotional knowledge, skills, and needs. Teachers will gain insight into 26 different indicators across 6 domains to reflect students’ current learning and abilities.

Teachers trained in the ELI will be able to: 

• Effectively implement the Early Learning Inventory with students
• Access resources to support growth and development
• Use the rubric scores to inform instruction for effective student growth
• Share data with families to guide collaboration in learning
