The Impact of NHERI Print E-mail

NHERI IMPACTS -Education

NHERI impacts the world of education worldwide. Primary and secondary school educators, undergraduate and graduate school educators, education reformers and administrators, and government officials to local board members to parents all are interested in the most current and accurate research findings concerning the resurgence of the home education of children. Without doubt, the positive track record of successful home education has made an impact upon the American educational establishment. It has also brought attention from other countries around the world.

By being the leading center for research in home education, NHERI has been able to provide necessary leadership in this crucial arena of the education of future generations.

NHERI IMPACTS - The Courts

"Ongoing quality home-schooling research is essential for success in both courts and legislatures. Your participation with NHERI is vital." Michael Farris, President, Home School Legal Defense Assoc.

The work of NHERI is valued by those engaged in court cases across America regarding the home education of children. The parties involved must have solid, verifiable statistics to present a true picture of home schooling.

Dr. Ray also appears as an expert witness in courtroom and legislative testimony concerning home education issues.

NHERI IMPACTS - Government Policymaking

"Whoever has the data controls the policy." Kay Coles James, Virginia State Cabinetmember

Whether in state or national legislative matters, research data are relied upon heavily by both lobbyists, for the persuasion of legislators, and by legislators, for the promotion of bills.

The work of NHERI in this important arena provides state-specific, national, and international research information to various educational organizations. NHERI also offers more general materials to the citizen public for them to forward to their various state and national representatives.

NHERI IMPACTS - Home School Families

"Truly objective quality research will be essential in defending home schoolers from the attack to come." J. Richard Fugate, Author/Lecturer

Home educators desire that their children receive a superior education. They are willing to shoulder the corresponding responsibility to pursue excellence in their own teaching methods. NHERI provides research insights into the teaching of specific academic disciplines for the ease of teaching and the enhancement of learning.

The work of NHERI in offering print, audio, and video materials in non-technical language is also of great benefit to home schooling families who give these materials to relatives, friends, officials, or anyone else who may be either concerned about the decision or possibly interested in beginning a home school of their own. Solid, verifiable data goes a long way toward informing those who are unfamiliar with home education.

NHERI IMPACTS - Public and Private School Families

Families with children in institutional school settings are concerned about the quality of education that their tax dollars fund. Research showing the common characteristics and methods of successful home education can impact public and private school methodology and assist in the needed educational reform.
