the shape of a tk day, on one site
the daily side: a today screen the teacher checks first thing, a one minute handoff at pickup, a structured incident log for the days that need it. the planning side: weekly lessons a teacher can edit and save, a newsletter draft pulled from those lessons, and conference write ups in plain family language.
the assessments side covers what most tk classrooms still touch: asq for the children with a recent screener, drdp where the district uses it, deca for strengths language in a conference.
behavior support, calm and specific
four and five year olds in september are still preschool sized in many ways. the behavior pages are written that way, with calm, non-judgmental language and a focus on the situation, never a label on the child.
the hard week page is for the week when nothing is working. it is not a checklist, it is a quiet read for the teacher who needs to be reminded that the week is the problem, not the child or the teacher.
what this is not
tiny signals is not a tk curriculum. it is not aligned to a specific district scope and sequence. teachers bring their own curriculum and use the planning, writing, and family communication tools alongside it.
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
- lessons, weekly plans the teacher edits and saves
- behaviors a to z, calm, specific support for common moments
- hard week, a quiet read for the week that is not working
- write up, conference and progress notes
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.
- california state preschool, the year before tk for many children
- california school districts, the district page for a tk lead
- county offices of education, the county tk coordinator
- program directors and administrators, what stays with the teacher, what leaves the room
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.
