what a teacher actually does
drop small anecdotes across a rating period. at the end of the period, pick a level for each item and write two to four sentences that name what the child does now, in language a family can read.
the 8 categories
approaches to learning; social and emotional development; physical development and health; language, literacy, and communication; mathematics; creative arts; science and technology; social studies. each category holds three or more items.
where tiny signals helps
tiny signals does not enter the level in the cor advantage platform. it helps with the writing around it: the anecdote in the moment, the family narrative, the conference draft that pulls the week's observations together.
- observations, drop the anecdote when it happens, sort it later.
- conference write up, a one page family draft in about fifteen minutes.
- handoff, one minute at pickup in the language a family reads.
