Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Learning Targets I can identify what the hierarchy of needs is. I can relate the hierarchy to my own life. I can identify the basic human needs. I can relate an informational text to my own life.

Maslow’s Theory Daniels, 2004 “We each have a hierarchy of needs that ranges from "lower" to "higher." As lower needs are fulfilled there is a tendency for other, higher needs to emerge.” Daniels, 2004

Maslow’s Theory Maslow’s theory maintains that a person does not feel a higher need until the needs of the current level have been satisfied. Maslow's basic needs are as follows:
