Autonomou+Learner+Visual



**The five dimensions of the Autonomous Learner Model progress a student to the role of an independent learner. Each component has a list of activities that facilitate the growth of students to become self-directed learners.**

**Dimension One: __Orientation__** The Orientation dimension is the foundation for independent learning. Students have the opportunity to build a basic understanding of giftedness, and their own interests and abilities.

**Dimension Two: __Individual Development__** The Individual Development dimension helps students improve their learning skills, consider future career possibilities, and develop a positive attitude for lifelong learning.

**Dimension Three: __Enrichment__** Enrichment Activities emphasize awareness of what is outside the classroom to be studied, how to pursue these topics, and how to synthesize the information into a meaningful product.

**Dimension Four: __Seminars__** The fourth dimension, Seminar, provides opportunities for students to design, implement, and evaluate a structured learning experience that is shared with other interested people in the school and community.

**Dimension Five: __In-depth Study__** The final dimension, In-depth Study, provides an opportunity for learners to select an area of interest that will be studied in-depth over a long period of time.
