Perhaps just saying \u201cI am scared of _____\u201d could help. <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.6seconds.org\/2021\/01\/08\/getting-unstuck-power-naming-emotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to learn more about Researchers at UCLA\">Researchers at UCLA<\/a>&nbsp; found that when afraid, people showed fewer signs of reactivity after verbalizing their emotions. It\u2019s a technique often referred to as \u201cnaming the monster,\u201d and it can have a profound effect in reducing anxiety in the classroom: for both students and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check-ins invite students to explore and normalize their emotions and feelings. They also help students recognize emotions in their peers and provide an opportunity to build empathy so that they can better navigate relationships and engage more deeply with the world around them. Benefits extend to educators and staff, helping them to check the temperature of their school\u2019s ecosystem while ensuring that their own needs are being met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make check-ins more impactful for students and simpler for educators, the Microsoft Education team offers <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/reflect.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to learn more about Microsoft Reflect\">Microsoft Reflect<\/a>, a dynamic check-in app in Teams for Education, which supports deeper connection, expression, and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"supporting-students\">Supporting students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflect is a meaningful way to help students broaden their emotional vocabulary, recognize and process their emotions more effectively, and connect more fully with their peers. Using it for regular check-ins can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Amplify student voice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote a growth mindset through evaluation of effort<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build self-management skills so that students feel more ownership in their learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support CASEL competencies such as self-awareness and responsible decision-making&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Feelings-monsters.svg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflect features \u201cFeelings Monsters\u201d depicting more than 50 emotions. Students can use these to visualize their feelings and better understand and communicate their own emotions. These visualizations can also instigate conversations about what causes pleasant and unpleasant feelings, how these feelings affect learning, and how to navigate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflect also provides a safe space for students to practice asking for help in areas where they feel challenged. Since educators are the only individuals who can see reflections, students never have to worry about their peers having access to their check-ins. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"empowering-educators\">Empowering Educators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflect is built directly into Teams, a digital learning hub that unites assessments, communication, and collaboration. Educators love how easy it is to check-in with students and receive valuable feedback on student well-being so they can build a healthy classroom community. Reflect can either enhance an existing <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/reflect-check-ins-in-class-notebook-d38bdbbb-9ded-4d36-a283-de9cc9a96840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to learn more about social and emotional check-in routine\">social and emotional check-in routine<\/a>, or help educators begin a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflect is also a valuable tool for staff check-ins. <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/use-reflect-in-staff-teams-318015b5-a758-4102-a001-19c5041a9bed#ID0EDD=For_check-in_creators\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to learn more about Creating check-ins for staff teams\">Create check-ins for staff teams<\/a> to help build a school-wide culture of trust and transparency.

As part of his role as Head of Digital Pedagogy, Steve Crapnell researches digital practices supported by efficient and effective digital platforms, which led to a pilot of the Reflect app. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat matters is that I know my students. That&#8217;s the key,\u201d Steve says. \u201cIf I have a good, strong relationship with my students, then the learning is much, much easier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school is using the Reflect app to look at class and individual student snapshots to gauge student well-being. Prior to engaging with the Reflect app, the school had no real way of understanding where each student was individually. The traditional question at the beginning of a school day would be, &#8220;Good morning girls, how are we?&#8221; While polite, this question is not especially beneficial in terms connecting social and academic well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know my students better, [and] I know their attitudinal approach to what&#8217;s going on. So I can adjust my learning environment accordingly. Prior to using the Reflect app, that was hit or miss.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Reflect app in Teams, an educator can create a contextual question on what they want to know about students in the moment. For students, it\u2019s as simple as picking an emoji and qualifying it with a word or a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I first looked at the responses I was getting from Reflect, I was surprised,\u201d Steve says. \u201cI&#8217;d made certain assumptions about certain students. I had one student in particular that gave the impression of learning effortlessly. But when reviewing the Reflect data, she was actually feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about certain aspects of her learning. We&#8217;ve got to be careful making assumptions as [educators]. With Reflect, I can know the whole class and I can know individual students and that allows me the power and the privilege to pivot my lesson in response to what I&#8217;m seeing. It is quantitative qualitative data. Just because our students are present doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re present to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-power-of-the-pulse-check\">The power of the pulse check<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eMJfByH1ZN0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the YouTube video<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about Social Emotional Learning strategies and Reflect, explore these resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/topic\/get-started-with-reflect-in-teams-e9198f62-7860-4532-821f-53ef14afa79a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to Get started with Reflect in Teams\">Get started with Reflect in Teams<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/training\/modules\/build-sel-skills-with-reflect\/?wt.mc_id=reflect_reflectedublog_blog_cnl_csamw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to Build social and emotional skills in your classroom community with Reflect\">Build social and emotional skills in your classroom community with Reflect<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/microsoft.com\/en-us\/education\/msdownloads\/Student-well-being_Study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Click to go to Prioritizing and Supporting Student Well Being\">Prioritizing and Supporting Student Well Being<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there something that you are anxious about?
