Project Title: Advancing Pre-8th Grade Student Outcome Through the Power of Home
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
HW! seeks to eradicate educational inequality for under-resourced school communities by activating parents to become co-educators supporting their children\u2019s learning. Findings by the US Department of Education reveal COVID erased two decades’ of educational progress in reading and math. Unfortunately, students in St. Louis did not fare better than national trends. In 2023, leading education researchers analyzed data from 7,800 school districts to understand the scope of pandemic-related learning losses \u2014 St. Louis was among the top four hardest-hit communities in the nation, showing the highest rate of students below grade level in math and reading due to the pandemic. Among students from grades 3-8 in St. Louis, at most 65% in any grade scored above the level of Basic in English. In the face of these significant setbacks, education experts persistently call for extended instructional time, beyond the school day, to accelerate learning for the students.<\/p>\n
Missouri students spend just 14% of the year in the school, the remaining 86% is managed by families \u2013 and yet, the home and outside of class time remains the greatest untapped resource by most school systems. Many school personnel, especially those in low income communities, lack family engagement competencies and related training and support. Moreover, teachers receive only limited education and professional development in this crucial area. In fact, less than \u2153 of states, including Missouri, require learning about family engagement strategies to become a teacher.<\/p>\n
HW! aims to fill this systemic gap with programming strategically structured to support schools, teachers, and parents in improving literacy, math, and attendance for students. Through our program, parents are empowered with coaching and equipped with tools to bring the classroom home leading to increased instructional time for students. Families meaningfully engaged in their children’s learning and development positively impact lifelong health, academic, and well-being outcomes.\n<\/p>\n
