How it works

A teacher recognition program that runs itself.

Two minutes for your teachers. Zero extra work for you.

1

Teachers take a 2-minute staff check-in

Alpaca Pulse is a short, anonymous check-in survey. Real words, no sliding scales. At the end: a prompt to recognize a colleague with a shoutout.

2

Every shoutout lands in your Pulse dashboard

Peer recognition from your staff collects automatically in one place. See who recognized whom, read every message, and act on it without chasing anyone down.

3

Share staff appreciation before summer

Print a postcard for your end-of-year staff celebration, email it, or drop it in your newsletter. Ready-to-go postcard layouts make it effortless.

What school leaders say about Shoutouts

It really makes it an even playing field for everyone to be recognized. There's a lot of times where recognition isn't there... so I really like being able to print them, pass them out, and celebrate everyone.

The shoutouts are super fun! I print them, deliver them, and read them out loud in classrooms with students.
Frequenlty asked questions

Questions principals ask about peer recognition for their team

"Only a few weeks left. Is it worth starting now?"
Yes. Even two check-ins give you meaningful peer recognition data and real shoutouts, so you start next year with a strong school culture baseline for retention planning.
"My teachers already have too much on their plate."
The Alpaca Pulse staff check-in takes under two minutes. It's anonymous, uses real words instead of number scales, and supports teacher wellbeing by giving staff a voice. Teachers tell us it feels like something done for them, not to them.
"Will teachers actually participate in peer recognition?"
Most do, because it's built into a staff check-in they already take. Peer-to-peer recognition works best when it's low-friction. Teachers who prefer the background can shout out a colleague quietly, without being the center of attention.
"We've tried teacher recognition tools before and they don't stick."
Shoutouts isn't a separate recognition platform. There is no new login, no new habit to build, no adoption fight. Peer recognition runs inside the staff check-in your teachers already take. When the check-in runs, recognition happens automatically.
