"Panorama helps us measure students' SEL skills aligned to our Loved, Challenged, and Prepared Index. It provides powerful analytics to tell us how loved, challenged, and prepared students are feeling, and it equips our schools with tailored strategies to meet students' social and emotional needs."
"When I first came to Ogden, we did not have a system to be able to track our MTSS data and see where students were at. We had to create one on our own. Having Panorama changed that for us. It allowed us to be able to quickly make decisions and quickly see whether those decisions were working."
"I feel like we really got the best of both worlds: we were able to personalize our training with Panorama and put it into a familiar space for our educators and staff members. The training set them up for continued success as we implement our new partnership with Panorama."
"Instead of just teaching SEL, we looked at infusing SEL into every part of what we do. At the end of the day, a classroom where a student feels welcome is a classroom where academic achievement comes on its own."
"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."
“When we started working with Panorama, we asked them to help us collect feedback from more of our community in order to get a more representative data set. The results have been remarkable. We collected three times as many surveys from families than we did last year. Working with Panorama, we have made a huge leap forward in a positive direction with our survey program.”
“The beginning of our story is about building an MTSS for our district. In 2018, we had the basis for RTI, and we had a data platform. But the platform was cumbersome and not user friendly. When educators wanted to have conversations about student supports, they had to open a huge spreadsheet, which was not conducive to meaningful conversations. So we knew we needed to have a better data system.”
"Two years ago, we ran focus groups with building leaders, teachers, district leaders, and students. We found that we were data rich but learner information poor. We had all of this data about students, but not a lot of learner information. That led us on a journey towards social-emotional learning."
"Panorama helped us move from 'feel' to 'real' with SEL. Teachers do a phenomenal job of knowing their kids, but having the tangible data to validate those feelings -- that was a catalyst to move into action for our kids."
"You can't separate a student's academic performance with their attendance, behavior, or SEL. Now, with Panorama Student Success, we can put all of this data in one place so we can have more cohesive conversations about students."
“We needed to strengthen our Tier 1 literacy instruction to ensure fewer students needed interventions. At the same time, we had to push toward more targeted, data-driven reading interventions for students who needed RSPs.”
“Most buildings were tracking student literacy progress in different ways. So data existed in many places, and there was no way to easily transfer it between buildings. With this new legislation, students could be on RSPs throughout multiple grades—so we had to have a way to track and share student progress as they move from building to building.”
“With Student Success, we look at data through a different lens. We’ve always been data driven, but our approach was very broad; now, it is more streamlined and efficient. RSPs help look more closely at student progress; we have a better understanding of challenging areas and how to address those.”
"Everyone knows that what gets measured, gets done, and Panorama’s surveys add an important data source to our district improvement plans. For our school community, the survey is an engagement tool in itself.”
“Viewing this data is about leading with a sense of wonder. We need to seek to understand instead of feeling defensive.”
