Our Back to School Gift to You When You Make a Back to School Gift to CER of $100 or more

We’ve extended our donor gift of a signed copy of Jeanne’s book An Unfinished Journey; Education & The American Dream, to October 1, 2020.

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 COVID-19 having disrupted education worldwide, 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, please make your gift to CER of $100 or more today, and you will receive a signed copy of this timely, engaging, and important book.
