“Maslow before you Bloom” emphasizes the importance of addressing students’ basic needs before expecting them to engage in higher-level learning. If students don’t feel safe, trusted, or cared for, they can’t focus on learning. Just as you wouldn’t brush your teeth while running for your life, students can’t learn when they don’t feel secure. Building a safe and supportive classroom environment through strong relationships and credibility is crucial for effective teaching and learning.
