Psychology: Maslow, the Self-Actualized Person, & Weekend Homework

Directions:  Read the article below, and seek to understand (through Maslow's own words!) what the 12 characteristics of the Self-Actualized person looks like.  After, think of a person in your life who you believe to be as close to Maslow's concept of the Self-Actualized Person.  Type up a letter to them and explain in the letter how their behaviors and life experience make them a Self-Actualized person and how they've attained this status, according to Maslow. When you are finished, share your work with me and also share the letter with them this weekend if you can. You'll make their day....trust me!

Bridge: What Type of Learner Are You?

It is extremely important to learn about how best you learn new information.  Education is all about acquiring new knowledge, skills, and an understanding of the human condition.  In order to maximize our abilities (not just in High School) it is important we learn how best we develop and retain new information. 

"There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning."

Jiddu Krishnamurti

"Try to learn something about everything and everything about something."

Thomas Huxley

Below is a link to an online assessment that will identify your learning strengths and give you an opportunity to begin to understand how you best learn new information.  Answer all questions HONESTLY and take the survey seriously in order to get an accurate depiction of your learning strengths.
