As regular readers know, I’m an enthusiastic supporter of teachers make home visits, and the Parent Teacher Home Visit Project.
Over at my other blog, I’ve just published a report on a recent Parent Teacher Home Visit Project national conference and have made new additions to The Best Resources For Learning About Teacher Home Visits.
I grew up in the Everglades and our school had a very small population. Teachers visiting home is something that happened at least once a quarter. What I learned from these visits, was to be on my best behavior during class, because if I wasn’t my parents would know about it.
This only can make you a better teacher and also gain respect from the students parents. Teaching should be about making family connections.
