Reflections allow teachers to record information about how a piece of curriculum was used in their class and if it worked well. Access curriculum via the Curriculum List.
Reflections can be entered in the Curriculum List and accessible from the Grade Book, Planner, Assignment Overview and the Progress Monitor.
Reflections are used to record thoughts about a piece of curriculum.
Reflections can be added to any assignment or resource. See the Assignments & Resources article for more information about creating curriculum, including scheduling, grading, and content.
Add a Reflection
To add a reflection to a piece of curriculum, click the Reflections tab and then Add Reflection.
A short survey displays, which asks 5 questions about how the curriculum was used in your class, how it went, and your impression of the curriculum. Some questions have follow-up questions. The questions vary from reflection to reflection to collect a variety of data about each item without requiring an extensive survey. The first and last questions are included in every reflection.
Click Complete when finished to save the reflection. Once completed, reflections cannot be deleted.
Teachers can create as many reflections for a piece of curriculum as desired. Navigate between reflections using the arrow keys next to the date of the reflection and click Current to return to the most recent reflection.
Edit a Reflection
To edit a reflection, click Edit, make your changes, and then click Complete when finished. Only the most recent reflection can be edited.
Considerations for Reflections
- Reflections stay with a piece of curriculum when you copy it from year to year or term to term. Teachers can use reflections to to track the the value of curriculum over time.
- Reflections are not copied when using Duplicate to create a new instance of a piece of curriculum. Likewise, if another teacher adds curriculum to their section via the Other Curriculum tab, reflections are not copied to the new teacher.
- If a piece of curriculum is aligned to multiple sections, the same reflections display for all sections. Additional information and section-specific feedback can be included in the last question of the reflection.
- While reflections are currently only visible when looking at a specific piece of curriculum, additional tools in the future may make reflections visible to other users.
