Description
Motivation and achievement are common characteristics of gifted children, but how do we help the G/T students who aren’t meeting to their full potential? In “Motivation and Underachievement”, a 1-hour course, James T. Webb, Ph.D. dispels the myth that every gifted child is excelling in every area. He also provides strategies for identifying core issues and motivating students to their full potential.
You will learn:
- What it means for a G/T child to be unmotivated
- Four main reasons why gifted children underachieve
- Factors that enhance and facilitate student growth
- Practical strategies you can use in the classroom

I’m going to be honest, I was hooked sometimes, and zoned out during some parts. I will say, I love what he said about being gifted not only in societies… “global way” (?), but also thinking about being gifted in music, art, etc.

As a student myself that was identified as dyslexic and a gifted and talented student, I can not express enough how so many teachers believed I was lazy and unmotivated. No one knew I was dyslexic until I was in high school. I wish more teachers would take this course and develop a deeper understanding of how the mind of a gifted child thinks.
