Building Shared Understanding in Schools
Every school is a living community, shaped by the relationships, emotions, strengths, and challenges of the people within it.
Tawazon’s Johari – School Reflection program offers a gentle, structured process for teams to reflect on their dynamics, recognize blind spots, and understand how each member contributes to the whole.
By encouraging openness, transparency, and honest dialogue, the program helps schools build deeper trust, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of unity across staff teams.
Our Approach
The Johari Reflection model is grounded in a simple truth: awareness grows when people feel safe enough to share and listen. Through guided workshops and collaborative exercises, school teams learn to:
Increase self-awareness by receiving supportive, constructive feedback.
Discover hidden strengths and areas for growth through shared perspectives.
Build trust and openness by engaging in honest, respectful dialogue.
Create shared strategies for improvement that strengthen teamwork and daily collaboration.
This reflective process invites schools to move beyond surface-level interactions and develop deeper, more meaningful connections—supporting both educators’ wellbeing and students’ learning.
Tools and Resources
To support meaningful reflection and stronger team connection, the program includes practical tools designed specifically for school environments:
Johari Window exercises adapted for educators and school teams, helping staff explore how they see themselves and how others experience them.
Facilitated group sessions that create a safe, respectful space for open sharing and mutual understanding.
Visual mapping tools that make strengths, blind spots, and collective goals easy to see and discuss.
Integration with existing school action plans, ensuring that reflections translate into measurable growth and real change in daily practice.
Together, these tools help schools build a culture of openness, trust, and shared purpose.
Benefits for Schools

Greater alignment between the school’s values and everyday practices, ensuring consistency across classrooms and leadership.
