A
Thomas Jefferson Education:
Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the
Twenty First Century
"We have known for a long
time that it was the extraordinary, far-reaching vision of
America's founding fathers that produced the freest and most
powerful nation on earth. What we have not understood,
however, is the rigorous educational experience that gave them
such remarkable vision.
The loss of that knoweldge poses a clear and
present danger to our generation, because liberty cannot
perpetuate itself. A Thomas Jefferson Education tells us how
to see, in our own day, exactly what the founders saw, and
thus how to safeguard and build upon what they created. It's
not a quick or painless prescription, and Oliver DeMille
doesn't sugarcoat it. But he does show us, honestly and
authoritatively, the price we must pay to remain a free
people. If you are willing to find out what that blessing will
cost you and your children, read this book."
--Andrew M Allison,
Jefferson biographer, author
of The Real Thomas Jefferson.

Education: Teaching a Generation of Leaders for the Twenty First
Century" is available in the Washington County Library and Fort

There are many who have only read the book -- its
a brief introduction to the larger picture of Leadership
Education. Mr Allison mentioned "the rigorous educational
experience" however, how can a generation who were not mentored in
the classics, mentor their own to the level our founders
were? Find out how by attending the Face to Face with Greatness

"The Good Life"
Workshop
-- A FREE mini-seminar offered by George Wythe
College.
Modern America enjoys the greatest prosperity
know in the history of the earth and yet many still find themselves
unfulfilled. This three-hour seminar entitled The Good Life talks
about the importance of creating communities that work together
toward the goal of happiness. Healthy communities are powerful and
successful when they include elements of education, leisure and
labor. Such communities are a key element in "the good life" so
many of us are seeking. No matter what community you are a part
this seminar will help you understand just how helpful that
community can be. This is an adult workshop, but we also invite
youth ages 16 and older to particpate as well.
This is going to be a powerful and entertaining seminar on how we as a community can better grow together.
Monday July 7, 2008 6 pm to 9 pm

Workshops
Today's political, economic, and social challenges are no
less daunting than those of past generations. Governments,
businesses, schools, churches and other institutions worldwide need
men and women of high moral character, sound intellectual
understanding, and principled action to lead the way. But where will
these statesmen be found?
Leadership education is
changing the face of education in our country. Teachers, parents and
students in the United States and abroad are implementing leadership
minded principles and raising the bar of leadership worldwide.
Do you sense that your
education was not sufficient to prepare you for life’s greatest
challenges? Do you wonder how to prepare your children or
students for America’s 21st Century crises? Do you
want to introduce your children or students to the classics?
Do you want your children or students to know how to think for
themselves and be leaders in their chosen fields? Do you
want to be a more effective and inspiring mentor?
If this is the first you've heard
about TJEd, we are providing an opportunity to learn more about
Leadership Education, by offering Free workshops througout the
Greater Portland and SW Washington Metro Region. We will post
locations, dates and times here as new workshops become
available.
