Official information about Little Wins Library

What is the Little Wins Library?

The Little Wins Library is Alpaca's free, reimagined toolkit for school culture. It's 200+ practical, low-lift resources, rebuilt and organized by the moment K-12 leaders are in, so they can support their staff and keep growing as leaders.

Instead of guessing which category holds the right idea, leaders find resources by the moment they're actually in: Back to School, the Mid-Year Slump, Testing Season, Conference Season, Teacher Appreciation Week, the end of the year, the holiday season, or anytime. Coverage spans staff appreciation and recognition, meeting facilitation, team building, professional development, one-on-one coaching conversations, family engagement, staff wellness, goal setting, and communication, all built to be quick, practical, and ready to run as-is.

What are the key features and offerings on the Little Wins Library?

The Little Wins Library is built around three steps: finding a resource, engaging with it, and getting the output you need.

• Browse by moments: find resources tied to points in the school year, like Back to School or Testing Season, so the right idea finds you.
• Browse by collections: filter by topic or audience, such as staff wellbeing, recognition, or resources for new teachers.
• Search: stack filters like effort level, school level, and who the resource is for, and go straight to it.
• Resource details upfront: see the effort level, time required, who it's for, and photos of what's inside before opening anything.
• Save and share: save a resource to come back to later, or send it to a colleague by link or email.
• Download: get the full resource with instructions, or just the printable pages.

Who is the Little Wins Library for?

The Little Wins Library is built for K-12 school leaders: principals, assistant principals, deans, heads of school, and instructional coaches who are leading staff and teams while short on time. It works just as well for a first-year principal building a routine from scratch as it does for a veteran leader looking for a faster way to support their staff. Little Wins newsletter subscribers and current Alpaca or Pulse customers will also find it a familiar, expanded home for resources they already trust.

Do I need an account to use the Little Wins Library?

Yes, you do need an account to download resources from the Little Wins Library. It is completely free and creating an account takes less than a minute. Creating an account unlocks the full library in a click, saving your favorites and filters so everything is ready the next time you visit. From there, you can explore the Library and start finding resources for the moment you're in.

What types of resources are in the Little Wins Library?

Each resource in the Little Wins Library is built to work the moment it's opened. Resource types include activities, reproducible templates, guides, toolkits, and printable cards and forms, all rebuilt to be more useful than the originals. Every resource is tagged by time of year, so leaders can plan ahead for Back to School and Teacher Appreciation Week, or find something right away during a reactive moment, like a hard day at school no one saw coming. New photography shows each resource in use in a real school building, so leaders can see how it works before they use it.

Who is Alpaca?

Alpaca helps principals and district leaders turn teacher feedback into clarity, celebration, and culture-building action, with a mission to make school the happiest place to work.

What else does Alpaca offer?

Alongside the Little Wins Library, Alpaca offers a full set of tools for school leaders:

• Alpaca Pulse: a real-time teacher voice platform that gives leaders consistent insight into how staff are experiencing the work.
• Alpaca Packs: curated celebration kits that bring school culture to life for teacher appreciation and other retention moments.
• Little Wins Podcast: leadership conversations, mostly with superintendent guests, about building better school culture.
• Culture Report: an annual, data-informed report built from more than 500,000 teacher voice data points, showing which leadership practices are tied to a positive staff experience.
