Welcome to the Inaugural Edition of the Thomas Jefferson Education Carnival.
Based on principles set forth in these books:
 
Core Learning Phase
Traci Roddy presents Core Phase posted at TJEd blog. Traci does a great job of describing the necessity of the core phase and the rhythm of a home in executing core phase.
Inspire Not Require
Aine presents Becoming A Heaven on Earth posted at texasblu, Aine says you need to know your child's needs to inspire them, and do what's best for THEM, even if it is not the norm.
Praveen presents Refrain from Active Teaching posted at Tao of Simplicity. Sometimes it really IS that simple.
Love of Learning Phase
Juliainsk presents A Homeschool Experiment posted at Musings of A Prairie Girl. Julia describes a day of relaxed schooling.....and that's where the love of learning grows!
The Tour Marm presents The Educational Tour Marm: Whatever Wednesdays : Christina Meets Thomas Jefferson posted at The Educational Tour Marm.
Scholar/Depth Phase
Alvaro Fernandez presents Brain Teaser: how are Memory, Stress, Exercise, Brain Games, Stanford and Harvard connected? posted at SharpBrains, saying, "An expanded understanding on what Learning is."
Rebecca Newburn presents Information Age Education: 21st Century Skills posted at Information Age Education, saying, "What are the skills that are needed for students and citizens of the 21st Century? This presentation provides a starting place for a discourse on the type of leadership needed in education."
Book Discussions
Barbie McNutt presents Laddie, A True Blue Story by Gene Stratton Porter (Part One) posted at Simple Letters to Great Minds, saying, "This article is the first of a two part article on Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter." Barbie did a great job on Part 2 also.
Alvaro Fernandez presents Books on neuroplasticity and memory training posted at SharpBrains, saying, "Notes on a few books that explain how Learning changes our Brains-literally." In my opinion, these recommendations are more for the moms feeling like their brains may be going to mush, than for our young scholars!
That concludes the inaugaral edition of the TJEd Carnival. It is a simple start, but all carnivals start small. Several submissions, not directly related to the principles of a TJEd, were not included in an effort to stay focused on the goals of TJEd. Submit your blog article to the next edition of A Thomas Jefferson Education Carnival using our carnival submission form. One entry per edition please, and focus on the principles set forth in A Thomas Jefferson Education.
