Abraham Maslow began teaching at Brooklyn College in
1937 and continued to work as a member of the school’s
faculty until 1951.
 Maslow
developed a motivational theory
based on the satisfaction of our needs.
 Described self actualization as the highest
need. This cannot be met until certain other
needs are met.
 It doesn’t matter who you are everyone has
these basic needs.
Maslow believed that children who have teachers
that they think do not like them, and treat them
differently, are being deprived of a basic need.
 Children need to receive lots of love and care in
the home to establish a good self esteem and
perform well in school.
 They also have to feel love and affection from
their teachers to help satisfy their basic need.

 The
satisfaction of basic needs is crucial for
individuals to survive and achieve all that
they are capable of achieving.

need.
