presents
1st Annual Alaska Leadership Education Forum
“All men who turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.”
- Sir Walter Scott
"TJEd is not a technical description of the process of one man's education, but a prescription for how parents, students and teachers in this generation can aspire to the achievements of that man through the application of timeless principles."
- Rachel DeMille Phases and Turnings

It takes a community to raise leaders. Many of us lack a community that supports the principles of Leadership Education. To compensate, we must build what we don't have, and create the community that our children need. Join us at Alaska’s First Annual Leadership Education Forum and learn how to help your children gain a Leadership Education.

Keynote Speaker:
Heather Burton
In her lifetime, Heather Burton would like to gather and understand the Truth about loving, learning and leading and become wise. For this reason, she is particularly grateful to have listened to Oliver DeMille speak about the educations of the founders of the United States about 12 years ago. Since that pivotal meeting, Thomas Jefferson Education principles have served an active role in Heather's life and in her family. Sharing principles of TJED-based Leadership Education has become part of Heather's personal mission. She has been fortunate to present community education classes, deliver workshops and speeches at homeschool conferences and teachers' conventions, and organize events based on the TJED model pretty much across Canada and the U.S. Her favorite part of this is the good people she meets. Heather lives on a "townfolk" farm in a log cabin in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with her husband Allan and their children who range in age from 3 to 20. The Burton family currently includes five llamas, four Eastern European German Shepherds, sixteen Tennessee Walking Horses, and a hen house of chickens. Heather loves to learn with her family, read, write, putter in the kitchen with whole foods, hike, and grow things. She works from her home for The Arbinger Institute as Director of Community Services, which she also loves, and serves as the president of the Leadership Education Association of Families and Friends (LEAFF). From September to May, she mentors Scholar Phase students in math and science.
Relationships Rule, At Home and HomeschoolYou've got (or are gathering) it all, right? School supplies, learning resources, books within everyone's reach, a library card, involvement in a support organization, familiarity with the Internet, a great philosophy of learning to match your desire and determination--and all this amounts to homeschool success, doesn't it? Well, maybe. In this presentation, Heather Burton shares some wonderful, foundational concepts about the power of relationships to make a pivotal difference in all our endeavors, including guiding our children along the path of great Leadership Education.
Cradles of Eminence: Lessons from the Past for Present Learning and Future Greatness"The leaders of the future are in your homes." --Oliver DeMilleRegardless of the nature of our families, it is a distinct probability that the people who live in our homes will carry significant responsibility in society. Whether this is heading a family, running a company, starting an organization, serving in church and community, being an idea leader, or governing others, the foundation for that leadership is being built now, choice by choice. And that can weigh heavily on a parents' shoulders!Thankfully, there is help at every hand, including from the lives of great people past and present. What are some of the key lessons we can learn from the educations of eminent people? What can we glean from their lives to enrich our home-based learning environment? How can their preparation help us see what future leaders might need? In this presentation, Heather Burton shares facts, principles, comfort and excitement about walking the path toward greatness.
