Roles & visibility
The essentials are simple: who you are in your child’s life, and what you are permitted to see.
The principle
Section titled “The principle”Mastery means the same thing for everyone.
What changes is only who may view—and help with—your child’s learning.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Role | Your relationship to the learner: parent, student, teacher, and so on |
| Visibility | What progress and detail you are permitted to see |
| Family-first | You keep a full, honest picture—even when a teacher is involved |
Bloom’s learning model does not change because your child studies at home or at school. Roles and visibility adapt; the definition of mastery does not.
Who is who
Section titled “Who is who”You (parent or guardian)
Section titled “You (parent or guardian)”- Add your child and help manage how they sign in
- See complete progress—readiness, mastery, what follows
- Remain a full partner when a classroom teacher is involved
You are not removed from the primary record when school is in the picture.
Your child (student)
Section titled “Your child (student)”- Completes the learning: practice (Learning Units), demonstration (Proficiency Demonstrations), and application (Projects)
- Sees their own work and progress in age-appropriate form
- Does not manage billing, siblings, or who else has access
Teachers
Section titled “Teachers”- Guide learning for students in their class
- See progress for those students
- Share the same definition of readiness and mastery that you see
- Do not replace your view of your child’s overall learning
Other adults
Section titled “Other adults”Co-parents, school leaders, and support staff may appear with carefully limited access. The principle: only people who should see a child, see a child.
Partnership with schools
Section titled “Partnership with schools”Good schools matter. Classrooms bring skilled teachers, peers, structure, and community. Bloom is not anti-school—we are for serious schools that want better outcomes without pretending the old one-pace model is sufficient.
School environments also face real constraints: large groups, limited time for true individualization, thin feedback, pressure to cover content rather than prove mastery. Partnership gives teachers:
- Clear readiness and mastery for each student
- The same record families see
- Adaptive paths difficult to run on paper alone
- AI for personalization, feedback, and guidance at classroom scale
Home and school use the same rules
Section titled “Home and school use the same rules”- Someone in the family remains connected with full insight
- Teachers gain access when the child is connected to their class
- Mastery, readiness, and evidence mean the same thing in both settings
How a teacher obtains access
Section titled “How a teacher obtains access”You assign / connect your child to a class │ ▼The teacher can see and support that student’s learning- Assigning your child to a classroom is the ordinary way a teacher joins the picture
- The teacher sees students in their class—not every child in every family
- Your visibility does not shrink when a teacher is added
Schools may also roster students through school workflows as those features expand; partnership with families remains central.
What each of you typically sees
Section titled “What each of you typically sees”| Who | What they see |
|---|---|
| Parent | Full picture of your children’s learning across subjects |
| Teacher | Progress and tools for students in their class |
| Student | Their own path and age-appropriate progress |
| You + teacher together | The same underlying record of mastery |

What this is not
Section titled “What this is not”- Teachers do not automatically see every child by default
- You do not lose the detailed view when a class is added
- “Role” is not a technical chore—it is simply who you are to the learner
