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?

It was a good course. My question is with my daughter being recently diagnosed with ADHD and autism, how many of these underachievers are children that have not been diagnosed. I saw my daughter several times want to do things but it’s like something kept her from doing it and when I went in to push her to get things done, it was a fight with her thinking she was such a bad daughter and that was far from what I wanted her think, I just wanted her to do her work sooner rather than later.
