This is an example of some instructional stratagies that are used in Thomas Jefferson Education, TJEd. It is by no means an exhaustive list but it gives a good example of how your student would learn in a TJEd environment.
Mentoring
TJEd emphasizes mentorship, where the teacher acts as a personal guide who models learning, inspires curiosity, and supports the learner’s journey rather than merely delivering content.
Discussion Based-Learning
Frequent and meaningful discussions about classic literature, current events, and ideas allow students to deepen understanding, develop reasoning, and engage with diverse perspectives.
Study of Classics
Rather than relying on modern textbooks, TJEd promotes studying classic works—books and primary sources—by reading together and encouraging deep engagement with timeless ideas.
Project Based-Learning
Students pursue projects rooted in their own interests, which gives them opportunities to learn by doing, apply knowledge creatively, and experience the relevance of their education.
Tiered Assignments
Assignments are tailored to match students’ interests, readiness, and ability, allowing them to work at their own level of challenge and complexity, as recommended for flexible, individualized environments.
Structured Time-Not Content
Teachers provide structured time for study, exploration, and creativity, allowing learners the freedom to direct their focus and develop ownership of their educational process.
