The Gifted Underachiever: Another Look.

Emerick, Linda J.

Preventing School Failure, v34 n1 p6-9 Fall 1989

To help reverse the underachievement pattern in gifted students, educators should seek out less-evident indicators of strengths and abilities, incorporate those abilities into the classroom curriculum, recognize evidence of a sustained will to learn, and be realistic and optimistic about signs of improvement.
