Parent Teacher Home Visits

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?" We are Parent Teacher Home Visits (@PTHVP). 🧵

Many educators want stronger family relationships but feel unsure about going into homes or starting new conversations. In our new Individual Registration Training, they learn step‑by‑step logistics, practice language, and hear from families themselves, which makes the first visit feel doable instead of daunting.

What if the key question isn't whether families receive school messages, but whether those messages help them support learning at home? Reaching families is only the first step. The next is connecting communication to instruction. ow.ly/UO5B50ZmyLu #FamilyEngagement

Every year, new educators join schools that already trained with Parent Teacher Home Visits and miss the original training. The Individual Registration Training gives them a direct path to catch up so your home visit practice stays strong, even when staffing changes. Next session, July 30. pthvp.org/individual-reg…

Most families brace for the worst when a school reaches out. Katrina Branch expected a home visit to threaten custody of the nieces she was raising. Instead it gave her a seat at the table, and years later she was running fundraisers and advocating for every parent in her building. Read her story: pthvp.org/katrina-branch…

New research shows how much the policy landscape is shifting for schools serving multilingual and immigrant families. Whatever changes at the state level, one constant remains: when educators show up for families, trust holds and the line between home and school stays open. pthvp.org/when-fear-come…

Parents aren't anti-tech. A new National Parents Union survey finds 75% think their school's screen time is already about right, and just 1% want none at all. What they're asking for is transparency on AI use and real guardrails around their kids' data. Sounds like a conversation that begins with trust. edweek.org/technology/par…
