Based on the enduring insights of Abraham Maslow, this book explores how physiological needs, safety, belonging, esteem, and self actualization shape every aspect of classroom life. It explains why students struggle when foundational needs go unmet and how educators can create environments that promote connection, confidence, resilience, and motivation.

Inside this comprehensive resource, readers will find clear explanations, real world examples, and research grounded strategies for building supportive classroom structures, strengthening schoolwide culture, promoting trauma sensitive practices, and nurturing the social emotional well being of every learner.
