“In my 27 years of education I have never worked with a company that has the professionalism, follow through, and responsiveness that the colleagues at Panorama demonstrate on a regular basis. I continue to be impressed with their expertise and knowledge regarding school climate, using data to make informed decisions, and providing a racial equity and social justice lens in order to ensure student voices are heard.”
"The main priority was to continue to build relationships with students while increasing their academic performance."
"Our goal is that all students have opportunities to develop SEL skills through multiple experiences within a given day. This work should not live in isolation or be separate from existing systems and practices. We need to provide students with chances to learn and practice SEL skills throughout the day."
“In my seven years here at Jefferson, I have seen a transformation with social-emotional learning. It's been a culture shift.”
“Without any data, which is where we existed before, it was all on feeling. Panorama gives us an opportunity to dive deeper and be more strategic with how we support students.”
"On our journey to improve school quality, we asked ourselves, ‘Are we meeting the requirements of our students and families?’ One of those requirements is a safe, caring, welcoming environment, and we now have a better tool to measure that in a reliable and valid way.”
"There was a lack of common tools for school-teams to be using we needed to find a way to put student data in the hands of our educators (and families) in a more efficient and streamlined manner so that they could take action sooner to support our students."
"With Student Success, we are able to integrate our Student Information System with six different assessments. We are pulling together attendance, grades, and behavior data from our SIS and combining it with assessment scores, establishing a uniform system that provides school-level views for teachers and leaders to access data and take a collaborative approach to action through our system of supports."
“It was interesting to see the parents’ reactions to it, because when they saw that 25% of our students didn’t think they could get better in [academic] subjects, they were actually troubled by it, as well.”
“We can’t know where to start or where to go without real data on the social-emotional strengths and needs of our students. We’re using the data to drive the professional development and resources we’re providing around SEL.”
“We're in a whole new world, and we should be measuring and supporting kids in their full and complete development.”
“We instantly started sharing our information with each other we're able to have very productive, honest conversations that are free of judgment.”
“When I started two years ago, it was my first time seeing a district measure social-emotional learning.”
"When I was a social worker in the schools, the one thing that I always was stuck on was needing SEL data. I never found anything that we could quantify and use to drive SEL learning and instruction. Then we came across Panorama."
"In order to conceptualize an SEL survey to our academic-minded peers, we emphasized the connection between improving academic performance and addressing social and emotional issues with our students. The more stakeholder buy-in you can receive, the better you'll be in implementing your SEL goals."
