| Definition of a Classics |
|
|
|
Virtually every
subject is most effectively learned directly from the greatest thinkers,
historians, artists, philosophers, scientists, prophets and their
original works. Great works inspire greatness.
Mediocre or poor
works inspire mediocre or poor learning.
The great accomplishments of
humanity are the key to quality education.
The conveyor belt emphasizes
textbooks that are too often just "dumbed down" summaries of rote knowledge.
A "classic" is a
work worth studying over and over again, because the student learns more
each time.
There are classics in each and every field --from history,
science and literature to computer design, gene-mapping and the digital
age, and even surfing, cycling, gardening and so forth.

The Phases of Learning
"More than just a book to read, it is a book to own and to return to again and again."
-Janiece Sloan
"...[a] practical and detailed
outline! After studying The Phases of Learning, I felt as if I
understood my children more deeply."
-Nanette Baker
Leadership Education helps
explain the stages that everyone needs to go through to fulfill their
mission in life (that includes parents, too!). I love that suggestions
of activities are included so that those just beginning this TJEd
journey can get their feet wet and be mentored along the way. Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
-Bente Rodriguez
Often cited by the DeMilles as their favorite work to date, this inspirational manual picks up where the primer/overview work, A Thomas Jefferson Education,
leaves off.
It develops in depth not only the philosophy but also the
nuts-and-bolts application of each individual Phase, the critical
Transitions between Phases and the "big-picture" vision to begin with
the end in mind.
Those who master the content in this book leave behind the question, "But how do you actually DO it?"
