Reflection Tool: Aligning with the Post-Secondary Student Standard

It takes time and effort to put the Standard’s recommendations into practice, even for those who have already adopted it. To support this work, the Reflection Tool is intended to spark thinking and conversation about how the Standard connects to work already underway at your institution, and how that work can evolve over time.

The Reflection Tool isn’t a checklist or an audit tool. Instead, it offers space to pause, reflect, and explore ways to keep building on ongoing efforts, recognizing that every institution’s journey with the Standard will look different.

This tool can be used at any point in your journey — whether you are just starting, actively implementing the Standard, or reflecting on progress and next steps.
