"I love that our work has shifted so dramatically with the Panorama Student Success platform. We now have a highly adaptive visualization tool where we can monitor our work with kids, in addition to sifting through and filtering those kids so that we can put them into group support settings."
“On my computer, I have a post-it note: Look at Panorama. It reminds me to look at Student Success whenever I’m talking with kids.”
“It's very valuable for us to have all the data in one place. Because whether we want to support someone around embedding some different strategies for behavior management, whether we want to support them around improving their systems for interventions, or if we want to talk to them a little bit about core expectations and how you implement a finely tuned cultural framework, we have all the data there that supports that. So that is how I mainly use it: how am I going to be supportive to the school? And I get to have a district level view.”
“We have data for math, reading, and writing. We also want to teach valuable life skills, but we haven’t ever been able to measure that until now. Teaching these skills is valuable and results in higher academic scores—and with Panorama, we now have a way to measure that. Academics and social-emotional learning are linked, and understanding that starts with exploring how kids are doing on a small scale.”
"We must use data to inform our decision-making regarding SEL supports for students."
"Parents are very grateful that we know their names, that we thank them for dropping their children off. We create strong relationships with parents and the community.”
“The students love it. You’d see students carrying Baby Yoda down the hallway, and it’s more meaningful than individual students winning something. It’s the entire class working together.”
"Working with Panorama made my job easier. As someone in charge of my district's data, Panorama made it incredibly simple to use our student data to set up student feedback surveys. We kept our surveys live for almost the whole year, and throughout that time, the Panorama team was exceptionally helpful and responsive."
“Viewing this data is about leading with a sense of wonder. We need to seek to understand instead of feeling defensive.”
“That’s when we restarted with a more inclusive committee, pulling in principals and teachers to discuss how we were going to respond when kids aren’t learning.”
“We decided to bring Panorama in as MTSS consultants because we’re not experts. We were having these MTSS meetings, but nothing was happening between them.”
“For a district of our size, pulling all of that data takes a huge amount of time. We needed a platform that streamlined data collection and analysis so we could spend our time defining—and responding to—student needs from the whole child perspective. Often, we look at academics in isolation, or behavior or attendance in isolation, but those all have ties to each other. And we needed to be able to see those connections to determine the supports we put in place.”
"When we think about equity and ensuring every single one of the 34,000 students in our districts has the same opportunity to learn at a high level, the data says that 39% of our students clearly do not have the same opportunity. Even if that was just 1%, it is still a problem."
"As we prepare students for jobs that don’t yet exist, we need to work with students to improve executive function so they can make better decisions and understand the consequences of those decisions. The starting point is to look at the data and create structures that support teachers and students.”
“A new teacher was feeling a little frustrated that students didn’t seem to think that she was interested in what they did outside of class, and of course she wanted to change that. Her mentor in the math department was able to give some really concrete suggestions from her own interactions with students that immediately gave that teacher some ideas, some things she could make part of her interactions with kids.”
