Dr. Dorothy Rich,
creator of MegaSkills
1932-2009


MegaSkills is a character building 

program to actively develop the

habits, behaviors and attitudes

children need in order to succeed

in school and beyond. Dorothy

Rich, Ed.D (1932-2009), was an

acclaimed educator and expert in

how families can help children

succeed in school and in life.  Dr.

Rich authored MegaSkills, now in

its fifth edition, which has been

used by more than four thousand

schools and thousands of families

across the United States and

abroad.  She founded the

nonprofit Home and School

Institute, based in Washington, D.C.


Dr. Rich's work has received the

"A+ for Breaking the Mold Award" from the U.S. Department of Education, as well as recognition from the MacArthur Foundation and other distinguished organizations. MegaSkills has been researched, tested and found to be effective in raising student achievement, decreasing discipline problems, increasing time spent on

homework, and decreasing time

spent watching TV.  Dorothy Rich

and her work have been featured

in the Washington Post, the New

York Times, The Los Angeles

Times, Good Morning America,

The Today Show, Education Week, and Reader's Digest.
