When students struggle, the most common response is to slow down, review, and reteach.
But repeating instruction that didn't work the first time rarely makes it work the second time. Tier 2 requires genuinely different approaches—not the same lesson with fewer students: https://t.co/9cFdVULcyg
🤖 AI can draft assessments, generate scaffolds, & suggest activities. What it cannot do is understand your students the way you do.
I created the REFINE framework to keep that expertise where it belongs: at the center of the design process: https://t.co/QNeFPfTxhr

@endelgado04@FullSail That is great to hear! I am still at Crosby Middle School, but I’m teaching 6th grade now. I wish you the best on your new adventures after graduation. Congratulations on this achievement! I’m proud of you!
We want to give a special shoutout to all of the Crosby Middle School teachers who came up on the summer break to attend a professional development session to obtain their Gifted/Talented (GT) hours today! Thank you for your commitment to our students and for continuing your own growth as a teacher! ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾 (P.S. Another shoutout goes to AI for creating this image for me! 😁) @CrosbyMSCougars@CrosbyISD
Coming Soon... 5 Years in the Making
Maslow Before Bloom… Then Gardner, Jung & Goleman
A bold follow-up to the groundbreaking 2020 book: Maslow Before Bloom: Basic Human Needs Before Academics
What if school wasn’t just about achievement—but about becoming?
Five years after sparking a movement, Dr. Bryan Pearlman returns with a powerful next step—taking us beyond safety and survival into strengths, identity, meaning, and emotional intelligence.
This book asks the deeper questions:
Once students feel safe, what’s next?
What if we focused on who they are, not just what they know?
From Gardner’s multiple intelligences, to Jung’s self-awareness & purpose, to Goleman’s emotional intelligence—this book provides a practical, student-centered framework to help kids thrive, not just survive.
Inside you'll discover:
Why Maslow still matters—and what comes after
How trauma blocks learning (and how to bridge the gap)
Strategies to teach to strengths—not just standards
Ways to help students discover who they are and why they matter
How to coach emotional regulation—not control behavior
A new vision for assessment: growth, effort, meaning
This is not about lowering the bar.
It’s about clearing the path.
For every educator who’s ever thought:
“There’s more going on here.”
You were right. And this book is for you.
Let’s stop managing kids.
Let’s mentor them into greatness.
Summer 2025. Get ready.
Congratulations to our outstanding 2025 award winners:
- Mrs. Berlinsia Gallentine: Para of the Year
- Ms. Taylor Pharis: Rising Star of the Year

Rushing ahead can leave students behind. Sketchnote artist @ValentinaESL highlights the value of giving students the time they need to think and respond to questions.
