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

Useful information. Much of it confirmed what I thought I knew through my observations in the classroom, but useful tools were given to take action.
Travis – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I like the information delivered and I left with some new knowledge and considerations I hadn’t been fully aware of before; however, there has to be a better way than to have a guy standing at a podium talking for an hour. Also, this took well over an hour to complete, but it’s only credited for 1 PD hour, so if efficiency is your game, look elsewhere.
