Improve Student Wellbeing with Microsoft Reflect

Courtney

Reflect in Microsoft Teams helps teachers create check-ins for their students and gain insights into their wellbeing. In this article, we talk about the four Reflect tools students can use in Teams. 

Microsoft Reflect is available for free in every class and staff Team.  

Teachers can create quick and interactive “check-ins” for their classes, allowing you to monitor their wellbeing and empowering students to reflect and recognise their emotions.



 

We’ve previously talked about adding Reflect Check-In polls to Class Notebooks, and we also mentioned Reflect in our guide to creating Staff Notebooks.  

Below are the four ways students can take a mindful moment about their learning and mental health.  

Breathing Break – Reflect in Microsoft Teams  

A guided breathing exercise with the Feelings Monster that allows students to follow along and pause the session at any time.
