Reflect on the teaching process and choose practical adjustments for the coming week.
Checked on 29 October 2026
Overview
A teacher’s weekly review connects plans, work covered, attendance and observations. Use the existing records and your school’s agreed review notes to decide what to continue or adjust.

Phone example
Interface labels are shown in English. Follow the translated steps below to find each control. Follow the sequence, review the recorded information and choose the next step.
Who can use this feature
Sign in to the correct school with your own account. Teachers use their allocated classes and learning areas; school-wide views require an authorised leadership role and the relevant enabled module. Ask the school administrator to check access if a section is missing.
Before you start
Agree the teaching week and review scope. Check the school calendar, allocations and timetable before comparing records. Use the school’s configured curriculum: for example Ghana’s CCP content standards and indicators, or Kenya’s CBC/CBE learning areas. Follow the separate country guides when setup differs.
Have the week’s timetable, plans, reflections and relevant class records ready. Resolve the review dates before comparing views.
Required and optional fields
| Field | Requirement | Format or example | Prerequisite |

| What went well? / What didn’t go well? / What could be done better? | Required when applicable | All three are required in Self evaluation. Describe the lesson honestly, including an explicit note if nothing was observed in one category. | What was actually taught and observed in the lesson. |

Picklist prerequisites
| Choice | Options come from | Earlier selection | If missing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year, term and week options | The school’s saved academic calendar and available teaching weeks. | Set up the year and term dates; choose year before term and week. | Check calendar dates and the selected year/term with the administrator. Do not use an unrelated week to clear a warning. |
| Classes, teachers and learning areas | Existing classes, teacher allocations and configured curriculum. | Create classes and assign teachers and learning areas. Choose the relevant class before its dependent options. | Check active allocations, school, year and filters. Do not create a duplicate class or subject to fill a list. |

- Read the saved work-covered notes, reflections and available self-evaluations. Describe activities used and difficulties encountered without reconstructing events from counts alone.
- Review attendance and observation coverage for the same classes and dates. Identify where missing information needs a conversation or another observation.
- Use the existing lesson reflection/self-evaluation workflow for lesson-specific updates. In the school’s review notes, record the next action, responsible person and check-in date.
- Prepare the next week’s plans or resources around those actions. Reopen any updated records and keep unresolved items visible.

On a phone, review one class or lesson at a time. Keep the week visible in your notes and reopen the record after moving between planning and attendance.
After a permitted update, wait for confirmation and reopen the saved record. Check whether an earlier request succeeded before retrying. Review counts only after confirming the same dates, classes and filters.
Save and verify
The review records a manageable teaching adjustment and the date to check it. Keep the agreed action alongside the lesson records that informed it.
Troubleshooting
A personal insights page has no usable record yet
Use the saved calendar, lesson records, attendance and assessment views available to you. A not-ready insights view is not evidence of missing teaching.
A view or choice is missing
Check school, role, enabled module, allocations and current filters. Complete the prerequisite setup first. A loading error or empty filtered view does not establish that no record exists.
