• Connection to Self◦ In order for work to have real meaning, students must have a significant interest and even
personal connection to the work. Without this, the work is artificial, forced, and carried out in isolation. Work WILL be Engaging
• Connection to Others◦ An understanding that people are social by nature and therefore will be motivated by a
collaborative curriculum.
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS!• Work Must Be Meaningful or Purposeful◦ An acknowledgment that it is a fundamental and universal human desire for people to want
to do work that is meaningful or purposeful. People want a job to do and gain great satisfaction in doing that job.
