Welcome to The TORI Project

# Taxonomy ofReflective Inquiry

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

Explore TORI

## 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.
