• W324205339 abstract "Mr. Goldberg talks with a woman who parlayed the paraphernalia of daily home life into a program that enables her to influence parent involvement across the country. AN ENERGETIC, bright, determined, and plainspoken woman, Dorothy Rich took the obvious and the mundane and transformed them into a well-organized educational enterprise. Everyone in education knows how crucial the family is to a child's educational success, but rarely do educators do more than bemoan the fact that a particular child is ill-prepared to learn. During the 1960s and 1970s, when the continuing calls for school reform began to sweep the profession as a result of books by such people as John Holt, Christopher Jencks, and Jonathan Kozol, it was the rare educator who thought to put together the hundreds of ways in which parents could be of specific help to children in their homes. Almost all the reform and support programs then and since - such as Head Start or programs to train teachers and administrators to do things differently in the school - have concentrated on offering help outside the home. But Dorothy Rich took a different approach. Using paper cartons, tables, lamps, chairs, electric bills, and other paraphernalia of daily life in a home, Rich began in the early 1960s to construct and to generate modest ideas that would teach parents how to help their children learn what they needed to know to achieve academic success. She began offering workshops to parents, teachers, administrators, guidance counselors, and other school professionals. Rich's original purposes were to teach parents the homespun methods they could use to help their children get ready for success in school and to show educators how they could help parents use these methods. It soon became apparent to Rich that selected parents and school personnel could train other groups. Dorothy Rich's recipes for school success became known to many community and educational organizations in the 1970s, particularly in the Washington, D.C., area where Rich lived. Michael Casserly, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools, lauds Rich as one of a handful of people who understood early on the important role families could play and who eventually influenced the parent involvement component of the federal Title I program. Rich now works with the U.S. Department of Education on ways in which parents can be part of any improvement or reform program. The Home and School Institute - incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in Washington, D.C., in 1972 with Dorothy Rich as its president - has to date trained more than 100,000 families in 48 states in the art of using egg cartons, empty boxes, the monthly rent or mortgage bills, vacuum cleaners, and cars to help children both at home and in school to get ready to learn. Rich's book MegaSkills, first published by Houghton Mifflin in 1988, organizes many of her ideas and specific lessons and is now in its third edition with more than 350,000 copies sold. The book has been endorsed by Marian Wright Edelman, president of the Children's Defense Fund; by Robert Chase, president of the National Education Association; by Tipper Gore; and by former senator and now Presidential candidate Bill Bradley. This is heady stuff for a woman raised in a modest home in Michigan where chickens roamed in the backyard. Dorothy Rich grew up as the child of immigrant parents in the 1930s and early 1940s in Monroe, Michigan. Mine is the first generation in my family to go to college, she relates. In fact, her parents were never comfortable with English and spoke Yiddish at home. But they did emphasize the extreme importance of education to Dorothy and her brother, both of whom eventually earned doctorates, and they did everything they could to encourage their children to do well in the solid, excellent, supportive schools in Monroe, where teachers really cared about you and taught with purpose. …" @default.
