Description
All teachers can identify the underachievers in their classes, but did you know there are “hidden underachievers” waiting to be challenged? In this course Carolyn Coil identifies the characteristics of underachievers with an emphasis on this hidden group. You will learn the patterns and behaviors of students who don’t push themselves and strategies for challenging them to rise to their potential.
In this 6-hour course, you will learn:
- Five different types of underachievers with emphasis on the “hidden” group
- Definitions and patterns of underachievement
- Graphic organizers of ways different underachievers show up in our classroom
- Strategies – is there supposed to be more to this?

The course was well done. I especially liked the section on achievement and failure, “interviewing an overcomer”. Lots of good ideas on not only how to identify underachievers but how to motivate and encourage them.

Candice – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –
I really enjoyed this course. It might be because the course is a few years old but I appreciate the old-fashioned expectation of encouraging responsibility from the students and that student underachievement isn’t simply a result of teachers not keeping the classroom engaging enough. I liked the suggestions and know I will be implementing some of them in the classroom!

I thought the information and the presenter was very interesting. I did not like that a lot of the strategies provided were repetitive. I think I could have learned all the information an in hour, not 6 hours. I really loved being able to do this online at my own pace.
