"Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg Last week was a rough one for me. Some days, working in education feels like climbing a mountain in roller skates—forward progress mixed with unexpected slides backward. For every breakthrough moment where someone really "got it," there was a frustrating email or meeting that made me question if we're making any real progress at all. I try to remember: lasting change isn't built on grand gestures or overnight transformations. It's built on persistent, steady steps forward. Every time we speak up for children. Each conversation that helps move the district forward. Those small moments when we choose collaboration over conflict. RBG knew this truth intimately. She built her legacy one careful step at a time. So today, I'm reminding myself that our work follows the same path. Every small win matters. Every conversation counts. Every step forward, no matter how tiny, is progress. If this resonates with you, share it with someone who might need this reminder today. We're all in this journey together, one step at a time.
