Title
Maslow Before Bloom
Synopsis
Maslow Before Bloom means that basic human needs must be addressed before learning can occur. If a student is hungry, tired, or scared—give them food, a nap, or a personal connection. This does not require board approval or a bond issue. It seems so simple. It is simple. It is also very effective. This presentation addresses the human side of things that lead to higher levels of learning.
Dr. Bryan Pearlman will present real-life stories, current research, hands-on strategies, and a problem-solving approach that is easy to implement and effective. Together, he believes, we can change a student's life trajectory!
