Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves,
and it is tiresome for children to be always
and forever explaining things to them.

Webinar Description
: As gifted children move into adolescence, motivating and engaging them in learning becomes more complex and complicated. In many cases this perceived lack of motivation and/or engagement may be due to the students’ deficit in the academic strategies of self-regulation to learn independently. It is essential that parents and teacher assist students in developing the skills of self-regulation, including planning, organizing and meta-cognition. This session will offer suggestions as to how to develop self-regulated learners and ideas of how to encourage autonomous learning. This recorded Webinar,
organized and hosted by SENG, is presented in PowerPoint format.
