Itโs not just students who need Maslow. Teachers need:
1) feel safe / supported
2) emotional connection/ relationships
3) feel respected
4) appreciation
5) value within the team
6) autonomy/ flexibility
7) take time for self and family
I couldnโt agree with this more. I am thankful that when I made a poor choice as a child there were teachers that believed in me and found ways to help me realize I am a good person and I have great things to offer this world! ๐
Sometimes, students make bad choicesโฆ but it doesnโt make them a bad kid. I hope we communicate that message to our students. Tomorrow is a new day.
