What worked? How can I do it again? - When part of a lesson goes really well, these two questions come to mind. We want to capture that lightning and make it strikes twice. The Featured Moments insight allows you to do just that. Featured Moments analyzes multiple data points in your lesson and creates one quick and easy-to-read insight of the most engaging moments in your class. Now you can analyze the most impactful moments of your lesson in a matter of minutes.
Catch the highlights from your lesson
I am huge sports fan, husband and father. As much as I would love to watch every game that I missed from start to finish, it’s impossible. I depend on highlights to give me a picture of how my favorite team performed. We’ve brought that same thinking to our app with Featured Moments.
We recognize that sometimes it’s not possible to sit down and go through all the insights from your lesson. Our technology takes the best moments from your lesson and compiles them into one insight. Now you can analyze the most engaging portions of your lesson and use them to create more moments.
Ground yourself in what went well and how you'll do it again tomorrow
One lesson can produce a ton of data and sifting through that data can be daunting. It’s hard to build a daily routine of reflecting on lessons when there are hundreds, if not thousands, of data points. Teachers want easy-to-read reports that give them the best picture of what happened during the lesson. Data analysis should be a daily routine, however, it has to be practical.
Featured moments helps bring practicality to the daily reflection. With Featured Moments, you can build on those key moments that got your students talking and create pathways to making highly engaging conversations commonplace in your lessons. The best part - it takes just minutes. This targeted approach encourages teachers to engage in meaningful and low-lift reflection that benefits their students in the long-run.
Reflecting on your class has never been easier
Analyzing data from class takes hours. Now you can cut that time into minutes. Featured Moment's snapshot of your lesson allows you to target those key moments that created the biggest impact for students. You can seamlessly make analyzing data part of your planning period without taking up a significant amount of time.
Try using Featured Moments to drive planning session with co-teachers. It’s difficult to coordinate planning with co-teachers especially when co-teachers support multiple grades or subjects. When teachers do have the chance to plan together, time is limited and sometimes data analysis is deprioritized. TeachFX aims to change this. Make the most of your planning period by narrowly focusing on this one insight. Keep everyone focused and moving towards the same goal with this targeted report.
Make reflection a daily routine on your journey to be the teacher you want to be
Daily reflection is a great ritual that helps a teacher be the best version of the themself. We want to help with that daily reflection by providing a bite-sized insight that allows you to celebrate the best moments from the day. Reflecting on Featured Moments grounds yourself in your practice and helps you envision yourself as the teacher you want to be.
This is not only important for professional development, but also personal development. Thinking positively has great mental and physical benefits. Research shows that negative thinking signals the body’s immune response while a positive attitude can improve your immune system. Check out the findings here. Keep this in mind as we enter cold and flu season. Reflecting on what goes well on a daily basis can protect us from getting sick. Similarly, happiness leads to approach behaviors that often lead to further success. Our goal is get teachers to focus on the things that went well in order to keep the momentum going. Doing this creates joy and leads to even more success.
