113 Panorama Education Testimonials

“These programs didn’t provide enough grade-level or school-level data to make decisions—just individual student data. And they didn’t provide any next steps coming out of the surveys.”

“Many of our students come with those inherent risk factors of poverty, but I believe that our teachers are uniquely equipped to help our students.”

“Two of my buddy students had been getting A’s and B’s in the beginning of the year but dropped to C’s and D’s. For both students, we implemented an intervention around Homework Club. I also started positive, and if needed, negative communication home. We use the Google Voice text messaging app to provide regular updates to parents about whether the students are attending Homework Club or whether they had a good day at school. Both students have been successful with some ongoing support. I’m pleased we were able to catch them early in Panorama and provide them with interventions to help them improve their grades.”

“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.”

"At SCUC ISD, we want to make sure students are graduating with something that takes them further than across the stage. We want them to have the skills to go on to whichever areas they choose."

"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.”

"Early warning indicators and intervention work are really important to our conversation about equity and excellence. We need to do more to ensure that all students engage with the opportunities that Waltham provides.”

“Whenever I talk to a buddy student, I’ll show them Panorama. The green, yellow, and red indicators make it very clear why they’ve been selected. I’ve worked with two girls who were failing fine arts, and showed both of them Panorama. I also opened up communication with their fine arts teacher. Every day in my class, I would ask the girls how things were going in the fine arts class just a daily conversational check-in. Those classes ended up turning around.”

“My buddy student from my special ed caseload was struggling in social studies and science and had attendance issues. My first step was to connect with his mother. She shared that he was missing days for medical treatment. This helped me understand what was going on and got the mom working on our team. The second step was lunch group meetings, where he’d come with one or two friends. We’d have a nice time, but also get 15 or 20 minutes worth of work done. He’s done great in the last two terms, so we’re planning to remove some of his special services. You can really see the maturity level; his attendance and academics have improved.”

"Instead of just being able to see discipline and referral data, SEL data helps us be more proactive and see the skill gaps before students get into trouble."

"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.”

“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.”
