What's the point of school?

Another PT recommended this reading - I cheated a little and watched a 30 minute clip!

At the heart of education are engaged students, enthused teachers, improved results and life long learners.  

Spoon feeding, superficial labels such as VAK and parroting back slogans such as which multiple intelligence we are using do not work.

Aspects of a BLP (Building Learning Power) culture are using the language of learning - not work, Modelling being a learner, activities which will stretch the learning muscle, valuing progress as much as the product and truly co-constructing the school curriculum.

Now what?

I need to think about my current classroom practice and how I can adapt it to Build Learning Power.  NoS and Science Capabilities seem an excellent vehicle and a good place to start.
