Abraham Marlow established a hierarchy of needs that if met will then help a person to reach their full potential. The hierarchy triangle consists of self-actualisation, self-esteem, love and belonging, safety and security, and physiological needs. This states that a person’s physiological needs must be fully satisfied before they start fulfilling their self-actualisation needs. In practice this means that if we meet children’s individual needs then they are able to have positive development.

In addition, the teacher is responsible for researching the subject area to ensure a wide, current knowledge base that will help when establishing credibility and professionalism, and then to develop a variety of interesting ways to deliver the content whilst ensuring a safe working environment for students. The teacher’s role is then to deliver the lesson content in a manner consistent with the learning styles and requirements of the delegates. These might include lecturing, large group discussion or case studies.

Write a concise summary (approximately 1’200 words) to demonstrate your understanding of your role and responsibilities as a teacher in relation to:

2.2. It is important to select a number of teaching and learning approaches as individuals can face a number of barriers causing them difficulty to learn. Maslows (1987) Hierarchy of Needs shows that if all five aspects of this theory are met, which are, self actualisation, self esteem recognition, safety/security and physiological it creates a healthy environment for learners to progress and achieve their goal.

Abraham Maslow developed a Hierarchy of Needs (appendix 3) which is used to understand human motivation, management training and personal development. This hierarchy is used to determine the responsibility of employers to provide a workplace environment that encourages and enables employees to fulfil their own unique potential.

1.1 The primary role of a teacher is to teach. They have to take into consideration the role in which they take to enable learners to learn.

However, within the teaching role, there must be a clear boundary regarding ‘the relationship’. You are the leader, the one with the knowledge of the subject matter. Therefore, you should be ready to teach all students, and become involved in their ‘study life’ whilst maintaining and appropriate distance from their ‘out of study life’.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs provides a foundational theory. It states that all employees have some basic needs that must first be satisfied in order to provide the framework for further motivation and empowerment.

Abraham Marlow (1970) who is one of the most influential theorists on human motivation stated that humans are motivated by unsatisfied needs, so as basic needs are met they are able to grow and move towards self-actualisation, resulting in individuals who are satisfied and fulfilled (Maslow, 1970). Facilitating a classroom environment which meets Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, enables students to feel a sense of belonging and self worth within their environment, therefore boosting their motivation to do well and helping them become confident learners.

During Thrive sessions, the key person leading the intervention uses unique games to develop thinking and risk taking skills. This also serves to raise self-esteem and positive social interaction, which are two of the Needs of MHN. To establish a link between Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Thrive, there have to be some observations drawn up of how they are linked to the school.

This essay is to demonstrate that I understand my own roles and responsibilities in lifelong learning.

Maslow had created a hierarchy of needs where it is separated in to seven parts, ( physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, esteem needs, cognitive needs, aesthetic needs and self actualisation) starting at the bottom with our very basic needs, he believed we do not achieve our full potential without our basic needs met firstly. He applied this theory to children as well and believed if they did not have all of their needs met they would not be able to learn and understand more to their full potential. Even though we cannot attend to every single need of a child in school we try our best to and always ensure them that they have someone to talk to no matter what.

The role of a teacher is to make sure that tutorials are carried out and communicated effectively and appropriately with learners and that it conforms to professional codes of conduct, functional skills are completed, ground rules are established and all the requirements of awarding bodies are followed. They have to maintain a safe and supportive role in the learning environment and promote

You should always work to and be aware of the boundaries of a teacher/trainer so that you know what is required of you, both when dealing with learners and with other professionals. It is important to maintain standards and keep within regulations of your establishment and the law. Teaching without discrimination, safeguarding learners, child protection, keeping learner information confidential as well as data protection, dressing appropriately and always acting professional; these are important boundaries of a teacher/trainer that should always be adhered to.

According to Clarke (2006) the role, responsibilities and boundaries are evolving qualities within the teacher which are assessed and reflected upon using the teaching/training cycle; a cycle of assessment, planning and review. My main role as a teacher is to facilitate
