THE PARENT/TEACHER HOME
VISIT PROJECT
is an inexpensive and easily replicated model of family engagement
that has been proven to end the cycle of blame between families
and school staff by building trust and respect, instilling cultural
competency and increasing personal and professional capacity
for
all involved.
The increased communication, trust and support
between families and teachers via home visits result in:
- Increased student attendance rates.
- Increased student test scores.
- Decreased suspension and expulsion rates.
- Decreased vandalism at school site.
Home visits also provide a positive opportunity
to meet federal and state mandates that families be meaningfully
informed of their child’s academic standing.
