Celebration Studio spotlight 🎬

One of the best parts of our job is hearing about little wins from school leaders across the country. Recently, we connected with Principal Woods of Robert Lucas Elementary in the Iowa City Community School District who is celebrating a strong start to the school year. He's onboarding seven new teachers and walking them through the systems and structures that keep his school running smoothly. Keep it up Principal Woods!

Meet Lane Eggen πŸ‘‹

Before he was a Sales Development Representative here at Alpaca, he spent his days as a 5th grade teacher.

A few things to know about him:

β†’ He's a former educator, so he knows exactly what schools are up against.
β†’ He's a professional birder, always trying to spot the coolest birds out in the wild.
β†’ Like the rest of us, he's on a mission to make school the happiest place to work!

Welcome to the team, Lane!

Hundreds of teacher-created resources that are easy to navigate and access are closer than you may think.

Principal Sheila Taylor from Norwalk, Iowa, described the Little Wins Library simply:

"Very responsive in the sense of what I need and what I am looking for. It is easy to navigate."

That's exactly what we set out to build, a resource hub that meets you where you are, with what you actually need.

For teachers, receiving feedback from a school leader can go one of two ways:

1. They hear "Great job" and move on, continuing as they did before.
2. They hear β€œGreat job! Next...” and leave the conversation knowing exactly what to try next.

Our Coaching Conversations resource is a four-step framework built for the second outcome. It comes with an agenda outline, prep worksheet, follow-up notes, and more, so you can pick the style that fits how you lead.

A message only works if it's heard by the right people at the right time. That means meeting your staff where they already are, keeping things short enough to act on, and following through.

Small, consistent habits make the difference here, and we've got some ideas for you to choose from.

Years of educator input, dozens of hours speaking with school leaders, eight months of heads-down work, and the Little Wins Library is finally live. πŸŽ‰

Last week, the reimagined Little Wins Library launched: 200+ practical, low-lift resources, rebuilt and organized by the moment school leaders are in. We celebrated the only way that felt right, cake, laughter, and a whole lot of gratitude.

Teachers, staff, families, districts, and nearly every school leader are all juggling multiple audiences and constant messaging. The challenge isn't always whether or not you're communicating often enough, it's finding a way to cut through the noise so the right message lands where it needs to.
