Parent Teacher Home Visits

We train teachers to make a meaningful relationship with the families of their students, starting with a voluntary #homevisit. #PTHVWorks

Every child carries a future inside them. A doctor. A pilot. An engineer. An artist. And every parent carries that same future in their heart. Our work is to make sure every educator knows how to ask the one question that unlocks it all: "What are your hopes and dreams for your child?"

Family engagement should be part of a program’s foundation, not an afterthought. When schools invite families to share what children need, recognize the barriers families may face, and sustain two-way communication, new initiatives are better positioned to serve every student.

Families value timely, relevant communication about both their children’s learning and well-being. Strong school-family partnerships grow when educators connect consistently, listen closely, and make families feel known well before a challenge arises. via @McCrindle_

For families navigating special education, advocacy is often built through steady presence, persistent learning, and love. @AnthonyTilghman offers a moving reminder that fathers are showing up in IEP meetings, at home, and in the daily work of helping their children thrive.

Improving attendance starts with asking families what stands in the way, then responding with support. This @educationweek story shows how trust, direct conversation, and practical problem-solving can help districts move from assumptions to solutions that get students back in class.

Families hold essential knowledge about their children’s strengths, needs, and aspirations. Schools that make room for that expertise from the beginning of the year create stronger partnerships, prevent avoidable misunderstandings, and help every student feel supported. https://t.co/LWsdSXqifc | via @AnthonyTilghman @WashInformer
