Teachers at one of Denver's poorest schools have discovered a key to improving student achievement that's as easy as stepping out the door.
High-performing schools in affluent neighborhoods are usually buzzing with parents — moms and dads volunteering, chauffeuring or helping out in classrooms.
But at schools in high-poverty neighborhoods, the opposite tends to occur — many of them have little to no parental engagement. Indeed, teachers rarely see a parent in the building unless a kid is in trouble.
That's why Fairview Elementary teachers are going to the families.
Every year, educators try to visit the homes of every child in the school — getting to know the families and discovering more
about their students.
