I enjoyed being reacquainted with Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. This model was a frequent part of my initial teacher training and one I used when developing a Crisis Profile Template for at risk students at my previous school.
This is a great way of ensuring we have time to pause and reflect on our practise. Asking ourselves those importance questions to ensure we are including all the necessary ingredients to make school and learning as successful as possible to all of our students. Our students lives and experiences, good and bad, outside of school has a huge impact on this happening. Self actualisation, is unfortunately something a lot of young people never experience.
