Transition to Scholar Phase: Daily Inspire!

Daily Inspire!
 



Transition to Scholar
 

Transition to Scholar is a sub-phase of Love of Learning that deserves special treatment. Pre-adolescents kind of have their foot in both Love and Learning and Scholar worlds, and need to be free to be either/both/neither as the day may be.
 
 
The Lessons of Transition to Scholar

  • Learning never ends.
  • Learning is used in adult life.
  • I will someday educate children as part of the cycle of life.
  • Learning combines doing with talking with practice (and later with thinking).
  • Imitation speeds up the learning process.
  • Unconscious creation needs to be followed by conscious work.
  • There is not an answer to everything (but there is to the most important things).
  • Character flaws hurt.
  • I can contribute to society (or make the mistake of trying to achieve to impress).
  • I have an impact on my own future.
  • Mom and Dad have flaws.
  • Mom and Dad also have authority, so I live in a potential tyranny that must be closely watched.
  • There are other cultures, many of which are different than my own.
  • --from Leadership Education by Oliver and Rachel DeMille
     
     
    Remember when you felt these things? Do you have children who are feeling this way right now?

    "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?"
