“When we first saw our results for Sense of Belonging, we were surprised. Now, we are taking action to build connections, because we recognize that emotions drive how much and how deeply students learn.”
"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.”
"One of the really special things about Panorama that's unlike any other program is that it's essentially a toolbox, and you use the tools that are helpful for your school."
“Students are right on about their assessment of faculty, and we take their feedback very seriously. We sit down and talk to our teachers about what their goals are going to be every year, and we use student feedback to drive these goals and the instruction we're going to focus on. It helps us as an administrative team to calibrate where we see our faculty and where we need to put our efforts.”
“By surveying our students, we’ve got this wealth of data we can turn back to. I begin goal-setting and evaluation conversations with teachers by saying that I believe there are things we can always do better. Now that we have several years of data we can ask, ‘Is this a pattern of what students have been saying?”
"With Panorama, we’re no longer guessing. We’re asking the right questions to understand how to best help students."
"Since implementing Panorama, we have 50% fewer F’s and 61% fewer tips in reporting suicide ideation at the school. This is what I love about Panorama: We can focus on both social health and on academics."
"It’s exciting that we can be more strategic, targeted, and student driven because we have the information we need at our fingertips with Panorama."
"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."
“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.”
"Since partnering with Panorama, the data we have collected has shed new light on both the state of our district's climate as well the social-emotional development of our students. We knew they were the perfect partner for this work when we saw that equity was at the heart of their approach to SEL."
"For our staff and educators, we knew that we needed to focus on self-care and well-being. We first created a district-wide survey with Panorama for our administrators, teachers, and support staff on each campus to provide overall insights into the climate of the schools and the district as a whole. How were teachers perceiving their relationships with leadership? With so many additional stressors due to the pandemic, what was the overall school climate?"
"The concrete data we gathered from our Panorama surveys allowed us to see a birds-eye view of the district and gain insight into school climate and culture on each campus. From there, we used the survey results to develop a district-wide plan for holistically supporting students and staff."
