You’re Allowed to Be Done for Today
What teachers really need right now isn’t another strategy, but permission to let go—a short reflection on craftsmanship, presence, and grace.
What most teachers need right now isn’t another strategy. You need permission to give yourself grace.
You’re doing a job with endless variables beyond your control and a to-do list that never truly gets finished. There will always be one more email, one more lesson to tweak, one more moment you replay on the drive home.
Instead, hold yourself accountable to craftsmanship during the school day.
Show up prepared. Be present. Do the work that matters.
Then give yourself permission to let the rest go until tomorrow.
This reflection is part of my almost-daily writing practice—and it’s the kind of conversation we have regularly inside The STRONG Teacher’s Lounge.
If you’re craving thoughtful connection, coaching, and community with educators who get it, you’d fit right in.
