Maslow Over Bloom

This program focuses on the interconnectedness of our hierarchical needs, how we learn, and the development of our brain. I explore the impact that trauma and toxicity have on these processes and the implications on our ability to live healthy, free lives.

Objectives

  • Identify and describe the key components of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and Bloom’s Taxonomy.

  • Compare and contrast Maslow’s and Bloom’s frameworks to show how they represent different aspects of human growth, needs, and learning.

  • Analyze the relationship between basic human needs (per Maslow) and levels of cognitive complexity (per Bloom), illustrating how foundational needs impact higher-order thinking and learning.

  • Explain the role of trauma and toxicity in disrupting human development within the context of Maslow’s hierarchy and its subsequent effect on cognitive engagement and progression in Bloom’s Taxonomy.

  • Demonstrate the interconnectedness of physiological, emotional, and cognitive needs in supporting healthy development and learning.

  • Discuss implications for educators and mental health professionals in addressing unmet needs and trauma, emphasizing approaches to foster healing, resilience, and learning readiness.

  • Evaluate strategies for applying insights from both Maslow and Bloom to support holistic human development and educational growth, especially for trauma-impacted individuals.
