what a teacher actually does
the screener runs about 15 minutes per child at intake. the inventory runs across the year, one skill area at a time. the teacher records mastery, writes a short summary for the family, and flags children for a deeper look when a score suggests it.
where tiny signals helps
the brigance forms hold the scores. tiny signals holds the writing around them: the family-facing summary, the follow-up letter when a screener suggests a next step, the conference draft.
- conference write up, a one page family draft.
- assessment hub, prompts and language across screeners.
- handoff, one minute at pickup in the family's language.
