In this episode of the Structured Literacy podcast, Jocelyn addresses how educators can maintain momentum during challenging periods by celebrating incremental progress rather than focusing solely on major outcomes like NAPLAN results. She outlines five key milestones worth celebrating: mastering literacy block timing and routines, students developing automatic behaviours that reduce negative incidents, observing short-term data movement in phonics assessments, witnessing students make cross-curricular connections with morphemes and vocabulary, and completing initial data collection with new assessment tools. 

Emphasising that sustainable change happens gradually, Jocelyn argues that these small wins build the cognitive load management and student confidence necessary for larger success, with the ultimate milestone being genuine student engagement and their recognition of their own progress.
