Motivating Underachievers:
Strategies for 21st Century Success
Frustrated by students who have potential to achieve but for a variety of reasons do not? This webinar focuses on these students...our underachievers. We will examine the causes of underachievement, and explore numerous practical strategies that can be used by teachers, counselors, and parents to help and encourage underachieving students.
Underachievement is usually degenerative. Signs begin in the early grades and the effects are cumulative as the child grows older. We will explore a number of reasons for underachievement and then turn to answering the question of how we can help these students.
Suggested strategies are practical and can be implemented in any school setting.
