Culture Pulse —
One screen to run the week: participation, signals, celebrations, and the staff focus.
Rule: Never coach emotion. Coach patterns. Document follow-up. Praise effort loudly.
This is a culture habit score — not a “good kid / bad kid” score. Consistency wins.

How to Review Check-Ins (10 Minutes)
Don’t overthink it. Look for these three buckets.
| Bucket | What it looks like | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Good | Consistent effort, respectful, prepared. Honest reflection. | Praise specifically. Give leadership responsibility. Recognize publicly. |
| Needs Attention | Scores slipping, excuses, inconsistent effort, attitude swings. | Private check-in: “What’s going on?” Set 1 clear adjustment for next week. |
| Red Flag | Disrespect, repeated issues, school behavior concerns, dishonest responses. | Document. Involve head coach/admin process. Clear consequences + reset plan. |
