the shape of a nj preschool day
a full school-day inclusion model with morning meeting, small groups, choice time, outdoor time, lunch, rest, and family communication at the ends. 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. the assessment page logs observations against gold codes.
bilingual family handoffs
spanish is the second language in most nj preschool rooms; many rooms also serve arabic, portuguese, korean, and haitian creole families. the daily handoff writes english and the family's home language side by side.
the fall and spring conference
a one page draft in about fifteen minutes, in plain language.
what stays with the teacher
class list, drafts, and observations live against the teacher's account. gold ratings and doe reporting stay in the systems the district 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, in the language families read
- conference write up, a one page draft in about fifteen minutes
- incident, calm, structured, honest
- iep and ifsp notes, for the many inclusion rooms
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, shared assessment stack for many partnership seats
- massachusetts cppi, a comparable state-funded pre-k
- 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.
