THE PERFECT READ FOR SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK 

Hot off the presses – and we do mean hot as it was published only days ago – comes an important and seminal read, An Unfinished Journey; Education & The American Dream, by CER’s Founder and CEO Jeanne Allen. 

Inspired by love of country, her Italian heritage, and this nation’s ongoing quest to raise its children to aspire and achieve their greatest dreams, Jeanne Allen wrote Unfinished Journey, which uniquely challenges us to think big about the education of our youth. Part-memoir, part-history book, part-character study of education’s major players over the past 25 years, Unfinished Journey will take you from the fragile beginnings of an education movement through its growing pains.

 

The book, which covers students, parents, politics, and culture gives the reader a “you are there” feel for the joys, heartbreaks, wins and losses that fighters for quality education options have experienced.

 

Jeanne’s lifetime of remarkable experience shines through on every page. Readily admitting that her most important work is her family and four children, Jeanne somehow found time in the midst of all this to earn a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Education Entrepreneurship program.

 

With 2020 shaping up to be a year of momentous importance for our nation and its youth, Unfinished Journey couldn’t have come at a better time. As Jeanne writes, “We must not be still or silent when generations are at stake. And education—varied by person, location, needs, skills, and aspirations and not tied to any one approach, system, or agency—is the key.”

 

If you agree, you can’t afford to miss this timely, engaging and important book.
