How Children Learn
 
At the root of the decision of how to view education are two divergent views of childhood. The first view rejects the notion that there are distinct learning phases--assuming that children, youth and adults learn the same way.
 
This view arranges its curriculum and educational methodology accordingly and drives the public conveyor belt and the elite competitive professional conveyor belt. This educational view treats all people of any age virtually the same, so that young children are molded into an adult-type system.
 
 
The second view affirms that children, youth and adults actually learn differently and that this must be taken into account in the setup of their educational environment and in the approach of their parents, teachers and mentors. This is the phases approach on which Thomas Jefferson Education is based.

The Phases of Learning

 
 
Less Stress,
Greater Outcomes

 
 
One of the most significant differences between Thomas Jefferson Education and other classical styles of education has to do with the belief that people, especially children, learn differently at different ages.
 
Thus, there are different phases for learning certain lessons. When the The 7 Keys of Great Teaching are applied with the Phases in mind, it's like hitting the sweet spot - less stress, greater outcomes!
