Week 1 Journal Christine K. Kaweck ECE313: Collaboration with Parents & Community Instructor: Lorianne Lammert-Arndt 15 Jan 2024

My vision for my home visits is to get to know the families of my students on a more personal level. I believe that taking the time to make a home visit not only shows the family how much you care and support their child, but you are also taking the time understand any cultural experiences every family has to offer. You are building strong relationships and strengthening your communication with each family. Home visits not only strengthen your relationship with the families but with your students as well. You are improving the outcomes for your students by getting to know them on a more personal level. You are stripping away the classroom environment and you are entering their world. By seeing how they are at home and what makes them feel safe and comfortable, you are allowing yourself to understand their behaviors and how you can mimic certain things in your classroom. Home visits create pathways between school and home. When I conduct my home visits, my intentions are to evaluate my students surroundings. It is important to me to see their space, and to understand how they act in different environments. Taking the time to document key details in how the family communicates amongst themselves and with me, allows me to see how my students receive and pass on information. These opportunities allow me to hear the concerns from the families and allow me to answer any questions they may have. When it comes to their children’s developmental skills, I want to make sure parents feel comfortable with my curriculum and classroom setting. I want to ensure the families that I am here to support and meet the needs of their children. Building trust early on allows us to have a successful school year. Understanding the individual needs from each family will help me conduct lessons and activities that can allow me to meet the needs for all of my students. There can be many challenges that come along with home visits. Some families may not want you to come into their home and have zero interest in a home visit. It may feel like I am trying to invade their space and feel a home visit is too personal. I can understand that some families may not be very welcoming, and a lot of that comes from the lack of trust and communication. As a parent, I know how protective we can be, and ultimately want what is best for their children. A solution for this potential issue is to send out a newsletter prior to the

official start of school to introduce myself and have an initial face to face meeting in the classroom setting to establish the first step to building trust. They may feel more open to a home visit once we meet in person, and I can explain to them my vision and what my values are as a teacher. Home visits follow the guidelines of the five principles of a family-centered approach. As a teacher, I respect and value the families knowledge and I also respect the diversity. Home visits share information through two-way communication which allows everyone involved to share their expertise while keeping the best interest of the children. The five principles is a network of support and is given when you enter the families home. I truly believe that home visits are important to bridge the pathway from school to home. Forming trust between parents and teachers allows us to come together to create a family unit to protect the children and make sure they are set up for success. Luch, J. (2004, August 1).
