Minute Masterclass Episode 73

Welcome to your one-minute masterclass. I’m Andrea Trench, founder of DiscoverDance. Today we conclude our series on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The fifth and final level of the hierarchy is self-actualization. Unlike the previous levels, self-actualization is an endless journey towards realizing our full potential as humans, no matter the age. 

When our basic, safety, love and belonging, and esteem needs are largely met, we are then able to recognize who we are, who we want to be, and what we are capable of. We begin to accept our past and present self and dream of all that is possible. We feel a sense of purpose, and with all our needs met we are ready to take on the world. When a child has reached this level you will see full participation, pure joy, enthusiasm for learning, and enhanced creativity. They will blow you away. Perhaps, you are thinking of that student right now. Don’t you wish that for all of your students?? That they could reach a realization of just how amazing they are and the potential they hold?
