What is the most important question education leaders should be asking?

Alan November's blog, post the 2007 Building Learning Communities Conference, asks a key question, 'What is the most important question education leaders should be asking?'
and it is well worth having a close look at some of the answers/comments.

It is heartening to read about 'empowerment' and 'student voice'... there is little about content here rather it is, as Sue puts it, about '... the transfer of ownership of the learning to the students' I do hope the BSF project gets this right.
