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.
- 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?

Carl – EULA ISD (verified owner) –
This course is very helpful for a teacher to be able to recognize various categories of underachievers, especially the hidden one. Mrs. Coil does a fantastic job of pointing out helpful hints and strategies to help the hidden underachiever learn how to thrive in the classroom and life. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a better understanding of the thought process and development of a child that has potential but may not always give their best effort for various reasons. (This course is also great for the parent of any age student who may want to motivate and help their own child develop and achieve their best).
