Description
This session discusses procrastination - including its underpinnings, implications, benefits, and drawbacks. Examine issues pertaining to giftedness, perfectionism, effective learning environments, self-regulation and thinking processes, motivation, and goal-setting. Consider strategies teachers and parents can use to help stem children’s procrastination and enable them to develop productive mindsets so as to propel the pursuit of excellence. Share insights about procrastination experiences, and ponder what we can learn from them. Discuss how learning is modifiable, how students can cope more efficiently with demands, and how effort can be fortified now, not later.
