On-Demand Webinar

Motivating the Gifted but Reluctant Learner

Presented By: Dr. Diane Heacox, Ed.D.

In this webinar, Dr. Diane Heacox, Ed.D. explores well-documented research on underlying causes of low performance and creates distinctions between non-producers, selective producers, and underachievers among the gifted populations. Teachers often struggle to reach students who actively or passively resist engagement in learning. This session identifies behaviors that distinguish students who are having motivational issues. Dr. Heacox considers which behaviors are necessary for success in the classroom and how to remove barriers to learning, giving students more opportunities for autonomy. Viewers will be guided through a process for diagnosing specific performance issues, and Dr. Heacox will suggest specific and targeted courses of action.
