the shape of a georgia pre-k day
one 6.5 hour instructional day, five days a week, alongside a lot of paperwork. the writing helper takes the family communication and the observation notes so the teacher's evening is a little shorter.
gelds and work sampling, in plain words
the write up helper produces language that names growth in a gelds domain (physical, social/emotional, approaches to play, communication, cognitive) and in a work sampling functional area without sounding like a rubric.
family handoffs and progress reports
the daily handoff writes in english and spanish side by side. the progress report draft pulls from the observations a teacher has already dropped in during the week.
the fall and spring conference
the write up produces a one page draft the teacher edits, not a blank template.
what stays with the teacher
class list, drafts, and observations live against the teacher's account. gelds ratings, work sampling portfolios, and dece reporting 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
- conference write up, a one page draft in about fifteen minutes
- handoff, one minute at pickup, in the language families read
- incident, calm, structured, honest
- behaviors a to z, situation-first support for four year olds
- assessment, prompts and language a teacher can borrow
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 georgia rooms that layer head start with pre-k
- family child care, for fcc providers in a bright from the start network
- 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.
