Parent Teacher Home Visits

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

Hard conversations go better when trust already exists. The best answers in this quiz all point to the same thing: connection comes before content. @pthvp trains educators to build that foundation before a crisis ever walks through the door.

Great resource from @sarahdsparks. 👇

When teachers visit families at home with an asset‑based lens, they “see students anew.” This study shows #homevisits function as powerful professional learning, deepening teachers’ understanding of bilingual families’ lives and informing culturally sustaining practice. https://t.co/QKui4IIl9W

This is what an investment in trust looks like. Congratulations to @WashoeSchools and these 52 extraordinary educators. Washoe County has long understood that when school staff show up for families on their terms, students show up differently too.

"When we broaden our understanding of what engagement looks like, we begin to see families differently. We shift from labeling to listening, from assumptions to partnership. And ultimately, we create stronger conditions for student success."

Recently, @AACountySchools hosted a PTHV Celebration at Severn Run High School's Division of Professional Learning & Organizational Advancement Office, which included group reflections from educators, a passionate address about #PTHV by Alba Morales, School and Community Specialist in the Office of Equity, and a powerful reminder about the danger of a single story from AACPS's Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Maisha Gillins! We're proud of this district's #FamilyEngagement efforts and cannot wait to see how their use of the PTHV model continues to benefit students, families and educators.

"The problem isn’t that families aren’t engaged. It’s that we haven’t been looking for engagement in the right places."

[Parent Teacher Home Visits @PTHVP]

"There’s mismatch between how schools define engagement and how families are able to demonstrate they care about their children’s education."

"Sometimes, what we interpret as disengagement is actually a gap between how we’re trying to connect and how families are able to respond. And when we don’t adjust how we engage, we risk mislabeling families who are still trying to show up."

"The problem isn’t that families aren’t engaged. It’s that we haven’t been looking for engagement in the right places."

[Parent Teacher Home Visits @PTHVP]

"We don’t have a #FamilyEngagement problem. Families are engaged, just not in the way we expect."
