Promoting the professional development of teachers is the most important way to improve teachers’ professional quality vocational, it is not only the need to develop vocational colleges, but also the necessary for teachers’ own growth and development. At present, the study of higher vocational teachers’ professional development is still in its infancy, Although some articles have been published in recent years, but these articles for the basic content of higher vocational teachers’ professional development, theoretical basis, development standard, the study of the development path have been short of integrity and systemic. Mostly studies how to improve the teachers’ economic status and social status are from the macro perspective, there are few researchers from the perspective of teacher’s own power supply- demand to study the path of teacher’s professional development. Moreover, research that systematically discusses how to apply Maslow’s self-fulfillment theory to solve the problem of higher vocational teachers’ professional development is few.Maslow’s Self-actualization Theory points out that people have abilities to pursuit self-realization and show self-value actively.
