Understanding Your Students
The basic needs that are essential for students to effectively engage with academic content have been identified by theorists, from Abraham Maslow to Rudolf Dreikurs to Stanley Coopersmith. Maslow emphasized the hierarchy of needs, according to which there are several fundamental needs that must be met for an individual to focus on higher-level tasks such as learning (Jones & Jones, 2016). Dreikurs said that students want power. And Coopersmith said that students need to feel esteem and confidence (Jones & Jones, 2016). However, Maslow encompasses all of these ideas and is at the basic root of the needs hierarchy, showing that the most basic are physiological needs, which include necessities for survival like food, water, and sleep. If a student is hungry, thirsty, or sleep-deprived, their ability to concentrate and engage in learning is significantly compromised. Following these are safety needs, where students need to feel both physically and emotionally secure in their learning environment. This encompasses freedom from violence and abuse, as well as emotional safety. A student who feels threatened or is experiencing trauma is less likely to be able to focus on learning.
The next level in Maslow's hierarchy includes belonging and love needs. Students need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, both within their family and in the school...…their learning. SEL focuses on developing key social skills such as empathy, cooperation, and conflict resolution, which are important for students' overall development and success in life. Research has shown that SEL not only improves students' social-emotional skills but also has a positive impact on academic performance (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, n.d.).
Incorporating SEL into the classroom and school culture requires a holistic approach, where the emotional and social needs of students are considered as important as their academic needs. This involves integrating SEL into the curriculum, adopting restorative practices, and creating a school-wide culture of respect and inclusion. If they address these various needs, teachers can create an environment where…

The third level up the pyramid is the need for affection, belonging and love. This is the need state area were people are who want to alleviate feelings of loneliness, isolation or alienation (Hoffman, 1988). This level is also critically important for the development of trust in the workplace and within workplace teams and the sense of identity that comes from being part of a group (Harris, Kleiner, 1993).
Finally, there is also evidence of physiological processes, such as some of the characteristic hormonal changes in both genders that are functions of aging. Males approaching retirement age or becoming grandfathers gain perspective by virtue of their age and experiences, but they also produce much less testosterone which also contributes to their psychological evolution into the self-actualized level of psychological development (Gerrig & Zimbardo, 2008).

They need to belong to a secure community and they need to be loved following the terror of Syrian attacks on them. Where esteem needs would be met before belonging and love: a young man becomes a professional baseball player and is placed by the Dodgers in a "Rookie League." He is alone, has no family near and knows very few team members; but if he is good enough to
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is based on the pyramid structure, with the most basic needs at the bottom of the structure, working upward to the most critical needs in terms of a person being motivated in the workplace or elsewhere in a productive setting. The Hierarchy of Needs Humans are in fact beings who want things and need things, Maslow explains. A "need" is a very personal requirement, but when it transcends
A key element to Maslow's hierarchy of needs is that it is a hierarchy, namely that the baser needs must be satisfied before the higher needs can be met. A salesperson scrabbling to make a living might be willing, to satisfy his or her physiological needs, to sell anything to anyone, even encourage someone to go into dangerous debt with a mortgage he or she can ill-afford to buy an
