Maslow believed that if our basic and growth needs are met as we grow and develop we can achieve a sense of actualisation or fulfilment, these theories see the developing human as a whole, humanism recognises the qualities of life (literature, Art, music) and the experiences that connect us to them as an essential components of human growth. He recognised that humans have great potential to 'set goals, solve problems and achieve their potential' (2013, p.238).The recognition of the uniqueness and individualism of the human is key to this theory, I hope to bring this into my teaching practice, through respectful and positive teacher-student interactions.
This theory connects to Professional Teaching Standards 2,3,4,5 and 6.
