Maslow Before Bloom

Local students participated in a unique opportunity with Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. Earlier this spring, students learned about social-emotional wellness and tactics for regulating their emotions. At the conclusion of the program, each participating school established a student community garden as a visual reminder to take care of oneself and others like you would take care of a garden. Jimmy Carter NHP, in partnership with the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers (RCI) and Friends of Jimmy Carter NHP, was awarded a grant by the National Park Foundation to help serve the social and emotional needs of fourth-grade students from area Title I schools. “They need Maslow before they Bloom” is a three-day program that focuses on helping students identify emotions and equipping them with coping strategies for when those emotions become too big to handle. The title of the grant is a play on “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs” and “Bloom’s Taxonomy” – two practices educators apply each day in their classrooms. Throughout the program, students also learned about the life and legacy of Rosalynn Carter, focusing on her role in mental health advocacy during her tenure as First Lady.
