Learning to learn as if how well we learn is more important than what we learn.

I believe a 'fulcrum' exists that can maximally leverage all our efforts and resources and 'lift' education into better serving the higher good of all.  This fulcrum, common to all educational endeavors, to everyone involved in education and to each child in school, is learning.  Nothing is more vital to our children, or to those of us who care about them, than how well we learn to help them learn well. For me, this is it in a nutshell, the fulcrum of change for each and all of us:

LEARNING TO LEARN AS IF HOW WELL WE LEARN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT WE LEARN.

I ask you to think about it. Learn into it.  Its the best way to achieve better test results. (I will be happy to dialogue here) Its the best way to prepare our children for their futures. (I will be happy to dialogue here) Its the best way to liberate and empower the intelligence and spirit of humanity. (I will be happy to dialogue here). 

So long as our conversations about improving education remain confined to an orientation that pervasively behaves as if what we want to teach is more important than how well our children learn, I think, we perpetuate the very core of the problems we say we are gathering to address.
