ABOUT LITTLE VICTORIES
Hey, I’m Mackenzie
the mind behind Little Victories and a lifelong educator! 🍎
Like every teacher, I’ve worn many hats! I’ve been a teacher, special education administrator, coach, and more. Most of that time, I’ve focused on supporting teachers with the students who most keep us on our toes with unexpected behavior.
Now that I’ve earned an educational doctorate, 🎓 I teach bright-eyed graduate students who are just about to step into their teaching shoes for the very first time.
Why “Little Victories?”
In special education, we don’t always get to witness overnight transformation.
What fuels our fires are those small steps students take toward achieving their goals, mastering new skills, and becoming more independent.
It’s the look that your toughest student gives you at the end of a hard day that says “I’ll try again tomorrow.” The hug you finally earned from your reluctant learner. The B+ they got on their spelling test for the first time!
But it’s also about you!
We want to toast to your personal growth in the same way!
Do you want to get students more engaged? Take better data? Write an IEP and still get home in time for dinner with your family?
