TEACHaR - Transforming Educational Achievements for Children in Home-based and Residential care

Anglicare Victoria’s TEACHaR Program (Transforming Educational Achievements for Children in Home-based and Residential Care) funds suitably qualified and experienced teachers to provide practical one-to-one support and other appropriate interventions to children in care to improve their education outcomes. Support is provided in the home, in the classroom, and to carers and schools/teachers. Children who have received 12 months continuous support have shown significant improvements across a range of key measures including attendance and engagement at school, literacy and numeracy skills, enjoyment of school, working hard at school, confidence, concentration skills, achieving to their ability, and overall academic performance. These children also increased their involvement in extra-curricula and community activities.
