Bridging the Gap between Home and School
According to researchers such as Fred Jones and Rick Wormeli, building positive relationships between parents and teachers is an essential component of effective classroom management. For this presentation, I explore the practice of home visits in relation to building the positive parent-teacher relationships that Jones and Wormeli describe. I discuss the procedures of a home visit, costs that occur when implementing a home visit program, and the direct effect that home visits have on student academic performance in the classroom.
