TJED "Classes" by Classics

Posted by at
For the past couple of years I've studied the best ways to create home education transcripts. I've thought a bit about how a TJED or Leadership Education will translate into traditional terms for "classes" and "credits". I know this must be possible, after all it is a far superior education. I spent some time thinking about all the standard conveyor-belt requirements and feel that I've been able to showcase a method of recording a Liberal Arts high school education with a TJED Classics basis and a traditional transcript.

A transcript by subject seems most preferable in this endeavor. Here are some examples I found online of Transcripts by Subject:
I do not suggest that anyone PAY for transcripts. It's too easy to do with a bit of time and a parent who does a little bit of research.

I've taken the TJED for Teens reading list as posted here and divided the classics into the various high school level classes. Our state requires 100 hours for a "credit" or 50 hours for a "half credit". Your state may suggest something else and you may need to adapt this list to your state's requirements.I will be posting each class over the next few weeks. It is easy to add your own classics as possible choices.

    This is just what I needed! Thanks for continuing to inspire me, even from so far away.

    Love you!

    Hi!
    Do you have any lists of the actual books your daughter read for each class? I'm putting together a reading challenge for scholars and would love to see what you've done.

    Hi Cyndi -

    I am actually in the process of getting transcripts ready for this year. I probably won't get them done until the Summer since we are moving into a new house (today actually). We typically run our school year from July to July, a year round plan. Around June I begin to finalize the previous year and we take June off for church camps and family fun.

    I post it when we get done, but it will probably be in a couple months. I also need her to finish compiling her portfolio for entrance into the Fall semester at BYU-Idaho.
