Welcome to The TORI Project

Taxonomy ofReflective Inquiry

A community-created project designed to help people learn through reflection and process their experiences.

Transforming How We Learn Through Reflection

We've identified 6 Domains, 60+ categories of reflection, and 96 distinct fields - and this is just the beginning! Join The TORI Project as a contributor and provide feedback, recommendations and research to the cause.

The Challenge

Reflection receives minimal attention in schools. Students are encouraged to reflect but often lack structured guidance.

Our Solution

A robust system with different types of reflection, varied methodologies, and patterns that shape experiences.
