The Parent/Teacher
Home Visit Project increases communication and trust between families and
schools to ensure successful relationships that benefit all and support
student success. The Project’s home-visit model is based on a
community-organizing model and principles of family empowerment.
Currently, the Parent/Teacher Home Visit Project works in partnership
with Boston Public Schools and Springfield’s Pioneer Valley Project
as well as fourteen other states and the District of Columbia.
