My
quest to Learn How to Learn began over
13 years ago. It was fueled by my passion for learning
and the Spirit’s leading. I set out to help my
grandchildren lay a foundation of life-long learning
that would be passed onto their children.
Along the way, I coached
adults in life and career transitions. I developed a
high school program “So, What About You?”
The students learned about their personalities, interests,
core values and goals. Using a modified approach, I
taught junior high students to know themselves and think
about college and careers that best fit them.
Working with these students
in public schools was a challenge and a joy. It prompted
two core questions:
1. Why doesn’t public education teach us how to
learn?
2. Are there principles of learning that can be taught
to everyone?
Looking for answers and
discovering more questions to ask, I
- learned accelerated
learning techniques,
- learned the history
of public education in the United States,
- attended personal
growth seminars,
- studied brain science,
cognitive processing principles and multiple intelligences.
I have met some of the
top experts in these various fields. My journey continues
as I read, research and maintain contact with experts,
educators and parents.
The Learning Compass
is the harvest of the knowledge I discovered on how
to learn. The Learning Compass as the platform for life-long
learning provides products and services to fulfill our
mission: “to educate, equip and empower families
to learn together life-long.”
