This course, based on Betts' Autonomous Learner Program Model, is designed for academically gifted and talented learners in English and social studies. The students commit to the entire course set if they apply and are selected for this program. The Autonomous Learner Program gives students opportunities to discover the notion of giftedness, to develop their individual talents, to allow enrichment to curricular matters, to participate in self-directed seminars, and to conduct in-depth studies. Students will be challenged with rigorous content, which will lead to creative, quality products. Students in this course will meet the district objectives and state standards for both English and social studies. Upon completion of the course, students will receive six credits.
Note: It is highly recommended that all students in the ALP program have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher. Students should have earned A’s or B’s in all previous Social Studies and English classes. Students will be required to earn a B or above to stay in the Autonomous Learner Program.
