Description¶

This strategy implements PTHV's five non-negotiables as concrete practices for schools adopting home visits. Teachers visit in pairs, arrange visits in advance, keep them voluntary, focus conversation on hopes and dreams, and visit a cross-section of students rather than targeting struggling students. The page states "Educators visit a cross-section of students (not a targeted intervention)" and "Educators go in pairs and reflect."
