What is a Reflection?
A reflection is a short survey about a piece of curriculum. It 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.

The date the Reflection was created displays at the top right.
Do Reflections Copy?
Reflections stay with a piece of curriculum when you copy it from year to year or term to term. Teachers can use reflections 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 or the library, reflections are not copied to the new teacher.
Other Considerations
- If a piece of curriculum is aligned to multiple sections, the same reflections display for all sections.
- 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.
