Reflective teacher circle

Start an adaptive Pathway

With the IRIS Connect app, effortlessly record your lessons using any Apple or Android device, and automatically upload the video to your private account on our secure platform. Gain a fresh perspective on your classroom by reflecting on your lesson through the full spectrum of interactions, not just your memory.

Privacy by design:
IRIS Connect puts you in full control of your recordings. Your lesson videos remain private, and only you decide if and when to share them for viewing or analysis.

Famed education researcher Dylan Wiliam said: “Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better.” But what if you don’t know where to start? One of the biggest challenges of self-reflection is figuring out what to focus on and what to look for. That’s where our AI Insights step in.

With just a click, our AI analyzes your entire lesson using the latest research and proven instructional strategies. It highlights key moments for further exploration, complete with tailored recommendations and precise time-stamps, so you can revisit the exact moments that matter most. Reflecting and improving has never been this simple—or this powerful.

With AI-generated lesson insights, you can easily identify a development area to focus on and use the suggested reflective questions to guide your thinking as you revisit key moments from your lesson on video.

Document your reflections with our time-linked video annotation tool and capture your findings directly in the Pathway for a seamless development process.

Reflect and discuss

With a clearer understanding of the teaching aspect you want to develop, you might be asking yourself: What does ‘better’ look like?

That’s where AI Insights comes in, offering tailored recommendations on theories and techniques to explore. With just a click, you can embed relevant bite-sized theories and research, access video models from our library, work through a WalkThru*, or even integrate your own school resources—directly into your reflective Pathway for a personalized, actionable approach to growth.

"It was really useful to be able to reflect on myself with a clear focus in mind. The reading material helped us identify what was good about our practice and what needed improving. It allowed us to choose clear ways to move our practice forward and guided us in our reflections in a way that was very useful."
- Natalie, Oakridge Junior School
“It can feel intimidating to ask for feedback from a colleague in an area where you feel vulnerable. Using AI tools to help analyse your own lessons totally removes this fear and allows you to focus purely on the feedback, rather than how you are being perceived.”
- Jess, Rosebery School
“It was actually much easier than I thought. It has made a difference to my practice as it made me focus on what I was saying and the way I was saying it. It also enabled me to look in hindsight at the way students were engaging.”
– Amy, The Liverpool Life Sciences UTC + Studio School
“Loved it! Gained confidence, knowledge and know how simple and easy the strategy is to adapt to any topic or key stage.”
- Kathleen, Cayman Prep & High School
