How Were ACOP Leaders Trained?

[Karlena]

There have been different seasons in my life, so I would not say that I gravitate towards any one of these three forms–although all three of these forms have been important in my life. As a young child, I was homeschooled for a period of time and consequently became quite adept at self-directed learning. This has definitely been an advantage, even as I have pursued advanced diploma and degree programs. Now, as a teacher, I am quite intentional about developing learner autonomy in students and giving them the tools, skills, and resources to do things on their own. This encourages people to become lifelong learners.
