You can use the tools on any laptop, pc, tablet or smartphone.
For optimum results, we advise you use a device with a larger screen for the following tools:
What Do I Do When…?
What Do I Do When…and Then…?

The tools are designed to prompt you to input data for each question before allowing you to proceed. Occasionally, if you don’t move the slider or adjust the ranking, the notification will pop up. To address it, simply make a small adjustment, like moving a slider slightly from zero or clicking on a statement. This ensures that the tool recognises your active engagement with the question, so you can continue."

We appreciate the relentless demands of a school day. The FITS tools can be used at a time to suit you and are designed to fit in with your schedule. We recommend school leaders provide teachers with a dedicated block of non-contact time to ensure maximum value is gleaned from each reflection.

The reflections takes approximately 30 – 40 minutes. A progress bar at the top of the screen helps to track your progress. Keep the momentum going for as long as possible. When concentration wanes, take a break to process your experience and resume later. We've integrated a pause and resume function that allows you to save your progress, log off and return to your reflection when convenient. (Although, because your reflection focuses on a specific lesson from your timetable, we advise you resume before your memory fades.)

The FITS tools are designed to foster thoughtful engagement. They probe your experience, your interactions, your values, your context, and your knowledge. The FITS tools give you space to think for yourself - and permission to be curious.

As you interact with the prompts, you'll notice that some of your responses will be immediate, tied to vivid memories. Others will encourage you to take your time, prompting deeper contemplation as you search for a considered response.

The prompts are grounded in Dr Warren’s research and experience.

Simply log back into the FITS platform. Look for the 'Footprints in Progress' heading, and by clicking the 'Resume' button, you'll continue from where you left off.

Absolutely. You'll often have the choice between using a text box or audio to respond to the prompt. Furthermore, if you opt for audio, FITS will automatically transcribe each utterance into text for your convenience.

The default setting for the software is British English and is typically accurate. To preserve the integrity of your responses, audio is presented alongside the text giving you the option to play back your responses.

Of course! You have the option to share extracts if you choose to. This offers substantial material for meaningful, professional conversations. Alternatively, you can add evidence of your insights and learning to your personal, reflective journal.

You'll receive an email to let you know when your FITS record is ready. Usually, the email notification arrives within 15 minutes of completing the reflection.
