Midweek Micro Wins: 5 Tiny Teacher Wins You Should Be Celebrating
Share
Midweek check-in: Teaching is a marathon, not a sprint… but even marathons have water stations. Today, we’re pulling over for 3 minutes to notice the small, mighty victories that actually keep the classroom moving.
Today’s Vibe: Marathon Mindset 🏁
Set the tone with our Teaching Is a Marathon T-Shirt—a reminder that pace > perfection. One water stop at a time, friend.
5 Tiny Teacher Wins Worth Celebrating Today
1) You Made a Student Laugh
Connection over perfection. Whether it was a whiteboard pun or accidental slapstick, you built rapport—and that fuels learning.
2) You Found the Missing Marker
Under the radiator. Behind the cart. In your hair? Doesn’t matter—you restored the sacred black ink supply. That’s logistics and luck.
3) You Finished the Lesson (Even If It Wasn’t Pretty)
Chaos doesn’t cancel comprehension. You covered the core, kept the room mostly upright, and no alarms went off. Big win.
4) You Answered One Email Before 9 PM
Inbox zero is a myth; inbox “less soul-crushing” is progress. One message moved forward is still momentum.
5) There’s Still Coffee in the Mug
Cold counts. Reheated counts. Third reheat? Counts extra. Caffeinate, educate, celebrate.
