ABOUT THE PARENT/TEACHER
HOME VISIT PROJECT

This extraordinary partnership between a faith based community organizing group, a local teachers union and a school district began in 1998 as an effort to address the cycle of blame that existed between parents and site personnel at several Sacramento schools where there was a pervasive history of low student achievement, high levels of poverty, and where high percentages of children entered school as English learners.

 P ROFESSIONAL relationships developed between families and teachers.
Each co-educator is respected for expertise regarding knowledge of student and curriculum.

 T RUST established between community and schools.
Home visits help end the common cycle of blame at schools with history of low student achievement.

 H OPE rekindled for student and school site success.
Parents, teachers and students share hopes, expectations and plans for academic success.

 V ISITS provide opportunity for teachers to step into the community.
Perceptions are altered and cultural competency is increased in our diverse school communities.

 P ARTICIPATION in visits is voluntary for everyone and teachers are paid for time.
Visits are designed to open lines of communication, not for assessments or interventions.
