Developing Internal Motivation in Gifted Youth

  • November 08, 2012
  • 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
  • Online: SENGinar

Lack of motivation factors keenly in underachievement of gifted children, creating interfamilial tension, as well as conflict with school. Internal motivation is the secret to enhancing achievement drive in gifted students. What does the research tell us, and what roles do self-concept and optimism play in helping kids develop their intrinsic motivation? Find out the pitfalls of rewards, and learn about seven strategies you can use right now to light the fire within any child.

 

This SENG Webinar is presented by Lisa Van Gemert, MEd, who is the Gifted Youth Specialist for the Mensa Foundation, as well as a popular conference speaker and professional development facilitator.
