The program I spend most of my time on – HOME WORKS! The Teacher Home Visit Program – was featured on our local Fox station’s morning show on Saturday, November 25! Here’s the online write-up and a link to the video…
ST. LOUIS – HOME WORKS! is the St. Louis-based teacher home-visit program that trains, supports and helps pay teachers to visit with the parents and families of struggling students to get them engaged in helping their children’s education. This program is in eight school districts in Missouri in the 2018-19 school year.
HOME WORKS! aims to improve academic achievement, attendance, classroom behavior, parental engagement, homework completion and attitudes about school, and decrease discipline issues.
Karen Kalish, Founder and CEO of HOME WORKS! was a winner of the 2017 Roslyn S. Jaffe Award for its work with struggling students.
