Challenge or social need:
- One-on-one attention has an enormous impact on engagement, learning, and well-being of students. Without it, students’ needs can be missed, and emotions can surface in ways that aren’t easy to understand. With Reflect is possible to make check-ins part of a routine to give each of students a place to share their feelings.
- Self-awareness and self-management are critical skills for lifelong learning: by providing
opportunities for students to reflect on their learning educators not only inform the trajectory of their teaching, but also increase students’ agency in learning. In this way, students can practice asking for help and develop a growth mindset through honestly evaluating their effort, motivation, and progress. - Evidence shows that teachers with higher levels of social emotional competence have more effective classroom management, better retention, and higher academic achievement in their students. To effectively teach SEL skills, educators first need space to reflect personally and recognize their skills and opportunities for growth; Reflect responds to this need.
