Student self-reflection

Students who regularly look at their own learning — what worked, what didn't, what to try next — build a skill that outlasts any single lesson. TeachersFlow gives you several ways to run a reflection routine; the cadence and shape are entirely yours. Some teachers reflect quarterly, some after every unit or test. The app supports any of these — it doesn't prescribe one.

Tools for reflection

  • Self-assessment, reflection questions, and goal setting — three forms in the Assessment generator built for this. Generate for a specific student with history enabled and the questions can build on their actual recent work rather than being generic.
  • Questionnaire activity — run reflection live or as homework via Activities: open questions, no scoring, joined by code or QR without student accounts. Save results to student records to keep the reflections alongside their other progress.
  • Anonymous voting — when you want honest signals about how the class is doing ("how confident do you feel about X?") without putting names on answers.

Students can see their own progress

Each student's link to the student portal shows them their own grades, feedback, assessments, and activity results. A reflection routine works better when students can actually look back at what they did — the portal gives them that without any accounts to manage.

A routine that works

  1. Pick a cadence that fits your subject — end of unit is a common start.
  2. Generate a reflection form for the group, or per student with history on.
  3. Run it as a questionnaire activity or hand it out as a material.
  4. Save results to student records so the next reflection can reference this one.

Start small: one group, one cadence, one form type. Expand when it sticks.
