Four traits, two ratings, one rhythm. Every Friday during the 360 block, every learner rates themselves and the studio on Intentionality, Civility, Excellence, and Energy. The Tally Keeper posts the results. The numbers become the input to Monday's launch - and slowly, the studio learns to see itself.
The survey is only half the cycle. Every Monday launch in Weeks 2-6 opens with a two-minute ICEE read-back - the Tally Keeper posts Friday's numbers before 8:30 and reads the studio averages aloud, the guide asks "which of those four is this week's job?", and the answer goes on the board and stays there all week.
Week 1 has no read-back because there's no previous Friday. The first one is Week 2, Monday, reading Week 1's numbers.
Are we making deliberate choices - or running on autopilot? Are we showing up with purpose?
Are we treating each other with grace? Are we yielding the floor, building each other up, repairing when we hurt someone?
Are we living the Standard of Excellence? Or are we settling for "good enough"?
Is the room alive? Or are we dragging? (Note: low energy isn't a moral failing - it's a signal.)
Each learner rates themselves and the studio, 1–10, on each of the four traits. 1 = "we totally missed it this week." 10 = "this is who we are."
Don't spend launch time defending the scale. Whether a hard week is a four or a six is not worth a minute of anyone's attention; whether the studio described its week truthfully is worth all of it. The one question that makes this instrument work is "is that true?" - and the guide rating themselves honestly out loud, including the low one, teaches it faster than any explanation of what the numbers mean.
A dip that reflects a genuinely hard week is a good result. A studio that gives itself top marks it didn't earn has wasted its own morning, and the trend chart it looks at in Weeks 5 and 6 becomes worthless.
| Trait | My rating (1–10) | Studio rating (1–10) | One word |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intentionality | ___ | ___ | ___ |
| Civility | ___ | ___ | ___ |
| Excellence | ___ | ___ | ___ |
| Energy | ___ | ___ | ___ |
The "one word" column captures the texture of that week's experience of the trait - useful for the Tally Keeper when sharing the results.
Friday 11:20–11:40: survey completed during 360 block.
Friday afternoon: Tally Keeper averages the studio ratings.
Friday/weekend: Tally Keeper posts results on the board.
Monday Launch: results read aloud - and if a Friday was an Adventure Day or Exhibition, this is where the missed survey gets run instead. One trait gets the focus - the one with the biggest gap between self-ratings and studio ratings, OR the lowest absolute score. That becomes the week's "ICEE focus."
Single-week scores matter less than trends. Patterns to watch:
