HomeWork: Lessons Learned in the Home for Success in School and Life, is a training and resource book for educators and other professionals to prepare parents and those in parenting roles to be effective as their children’s first teachers in the home.
It was not designed for them to perform formal instruction, rather to provide a set of strategies and tools as a framework for increasing parents’ ability to enable their children’s success in school and learning more broadly with a special focus on social, emotional, and academic development.
This Second Edition provides opportunities to review two events that increased the relevance of HomeWork. the COVID-19 pandemic and the reactions and responses it generated. As schools closed, children became students in their homes, and parents became the lead organizer of their children’s learning. Instructional technology emerged as a necessity to meet the requirements for pre-K–12 education. These events resulted a dynamic change between home and school. This upending of these “traditional roles” between home and school actually provides an a unique opportunity for forming more productive relationships between parents as their children’s teacher at home and the teachers at school.
