If you plan to print the Study Guide and fill it in by hand (recommended), expand the tables after you download it to provide more space to enter a complete response. Learning Objective: The candidate describes stages of physical development to inform appropriate expectations of P–12 students. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: What are the five levels in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? Level Description Example of meeting the need in a classroom/school Physiological Basic needs that are needed to live. Schools provide free lunches for low income and water fountains. Safety Being safe from harm in all aspects of life. No bullying policy. Teachers address bullying situations right away, so students feel safe. Love/belonging Healthy relationships/friendships. Classrooms are inviting and teaches include group activities so that classmates can get to know each other and make friends. Esteem Respect from self and others Teachers make sure all students are valued and respected in their classroom. Self- actualization Being self-aware, focused on personal growth. Teachers push students to their full potential, help them with their goals/dreams. Can you think of an example when a student's physiological needs not being met would affect their ability to create friendships (love/belonging)? If a student’s physiological needs are not being met it can impact their ability to create friendships because their body can not function properly. You must have your physiological needs met before you can have other needs met. If their physiological needs are not being met, they will be unhealthy. This can cause someone to have to stay home from school or different events, which makes them unable to meet new people and make friends. How would you summarize Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? A pyramid that allows us to understand the basic needs that humans need in order to reach their full potential.
