Partner with Families for Student Success
Families and teachers share a common goal: helping Beloit students thrive. When we build trust and a solid game plan, everyone wins. Use these tools to build deeper partnerships, share many forms of data, and co-create summer success plans with your families.
Here are free resources to help
Lean into Open and Honest of End-of-Year Conversations
Honest conversations about grade-level performance can feel challenging, but they are essential for student growth.
- Like any relationship, building trust with families is key. Making a personal phone call at the end of the year to celebrate a win and discuss summer goals can go a long way.
Help Bridge the Perception Gap with Data
84% of Wisconsin parents believe their child is learning at or above grade level in reading and math. However, in Beloit, just over 30% of students are actually on grade level.
- Use the Understanding Assessments Tool to help families interpret their test results and understand the difference between a classroom grade and state proficiency.
- Not sure how to have those tough conversations? Use our Teacher FAQ for guidance on listening to family concerns and answering questions about their child's progress.
