the shape of a colorado upk day
10, 15, or 30 hour weekly funding tiers depending on eligibility, delivered in whatever calendar the provider runs. tiny signals holds the writing end.
teaching strategies gold, in plain words
the write up helper names growth in a gold objective in language a family can read.
bilingual family handoffs
spanish is the second language in most colorado upk rooms. the daily handoff writes english and spanish side by side.
the fall and spring conference
a one page draft in about fifteen minutes.
what stays with the teacher
class list, drafts, and observations live against the teacher's account. gold ratings, cdec reporting, and provider portal data stay in the systems the program already uses.
what teachers actually open
these are the pages a classroom teacher reaches for on a normal week. nothing here is behind a paywall, a sales call, or a demo request.
- today, the one screen a teacher checks first
- gold write ups, language that matches the objectives
- handoff, one minute at pickup, english and spanish side by side
- conference write up, a one page draft in about fifteen minutes
- incident, calm, structured, honest
- behaviors a to z, situation-first support
programs that share this stack
the same writing helpers fit these classrooms too. if the page you are on is not quite the room, one of these might be.
- head start, for upk rooms that layer with head start
- family child care, for upk seats in fcc homes
- all program pages, the full hub of program-specific pages
forward this to a teacher
the fastest way to know if tiny signals fits a classroom is to put it in the hands of the teacher in that classroom. the button below opens a blank email with a short note already written, so it takes one click to send.
