View Reflect data in Insights

Use Education Insights to get at-a-glance views on your class's emotional state. Reflect check-ins, which give students an opportunity to name and share their emotions with you, can be viewed in Insights to help identify patterns and build targeted support. Regular Reflect usage can be a great starting point for social and emotional learning opportunities in your class.

Navigate to the Insights tab of your desired class.

Tips for taking action using your Reflect data report:

Identify uncomfortable emotions:

Deselect the comfortable emojis in your report to hone focus on challenging emotions students are experiencing. Which questions do they report uncomfortable feelings for? What patterns can you see? How can you modify your classroom practices to support students based on this data?

Jumpstart conversations about empathy:

A Reflect check-in with a broad range of responses can be a valuable tool in talking to students about empathy. Have students view the distribution of emotions from one of their Reflect check-ins and ask: Is everyone in the class feeling the same as you? How does knowing that some students in class are having a hard day impact how you might act today? If you were having a hard day, how would you want your friends to support you?
