The Impact of Feelings & Needs in the Classroom

Growing "Give-N-Take" Kids: Power Traits for Life™

A couple of months ago Edie Lanphar and I (Mariaemma) did an episode called Talking in Class - It's Essential for Learning. The topic of feelings and needs came up toward the end and we promised to do a follow-up to continue that conversation.

Students come to the classroom - or homeschool - with various needs (as do the adults!), depending on what is going on in their circumstances. For real learning to take place - both academically and emotionally - it is critical to keep in mind the importance of exploring those needs, the feelings those needs bring up, and their impact on behavior and learning.

The feelings and needs tool we discuss in this episode is called the No-Fault Zone Game and is available at: http://thenofaultzone.com
