The concept behind the Parent/Teacher Home Visit Project is simple. Rather than blaming each other, teachers and families come together, in a unique setting, as equal partners, to build trust and form a relationship where they can take the time to share dreams, expectations, experiences, and tools regarding the child’s academic success. Once a relationship is formed, the partners are empowered, finding accountability with each other to make the necessary changes to insure that students experience academic and social success. Independent evaluations of our home visit efforts show increased student attendance rates, increased student reading scores, decreased suspension and expulsion rates, and decreased vandalism at school sites.
