"It's Kinda Cool That You Came to My House." An Exploratory Study of Home Visits in a Rural Public School
Louis James Williams
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Oakland University
The exploratory study examined the outcomes of home visits conducted in primary grades of a Midwest rural public elementary school. The research considered both quantitative and qualitative data on teacher and caregiver relationship, teacher and student relationship, student academic success, attendance data, and behavioral changes. The participants included teachers, caregivers, and students. The research was completed over the 2022-2023 school year. The major finding of the research was the support that caregivers and teachers had for the development of the student and teacher relationships for the educational success of the student. Another finding was the support for home visits from both teachers and caregivers as an educational strategy. Additional research to expand on this exploratory study was suggested to further examine the themes and results for larger program implementation.
