      Microsoft Reflect is a tool within Teams that helps students identify and express how they feel in safe and fun ways, building their emotional vocabulary and giving educators the insights they need to provide active support. Students can learn how to navigate all kinds of emotions with the Feelings Monster, who helps find the right words to describe their feelings.
