for county offices of education, early learning

a county office often supports preschool and tk teachers in dozens of districts and partner sites at once, each with a different sis, a different assessment portal, and a different communication tool. asking for one more system is not realistic.

tiny signals is intentionally not a system. it is a page a teacher opens, on any device, that handles the writing helper the existing systems do not: the conference summary, the incident note, the daily handoff, the asq family letter, the drdp evidence sentence.

drdp-2025 measure language in plain words for the measures teachers actually rate each week. asq-3 and asq:se-2 prompts loaded by age window, with a family-friendly summary. deca strengths language for the social-emotional side. iep and 504 friendly write ups for children with a plan.

the daily side is what wins back a teacher's evening: a one minute end of day handoff, a structured incident log, a conference write up a tired teacher can finish in fifteen minutes.

not a student information system, not a replacement for drdptech, not a curriculum, not a parent billing or attendance tool. it sits next to whatever the district already uses.

no county contract is required for a teacher to try it. there is no procurement step to clear before a classroom can use it for a week.

the simplest path is a single link in a monthly coordinator newsletter or a transitional kindergarten community of practice email. teachers open it on their own; no follow up is required from the county.

for a coe that wants to evaluate it first, the honest pilot is one classroom for one week on whatever that teacher would normally write that week. if it gives back time, share it more widely.
