113 Panorama Education Testimonials

"I never had to worry about getting buy-in from my teachers for the Panorama partnership. When a tool has real value, you don't have to try to get buy-in."

“When I started two years ago, it was my first time seeing a district measure social-emotional learning.”

“In my seven years here at Jefferson, I have seen a transformation with social-emotional learning. It's been a culture shift.”

“I believe in tough love. If you are a leader, manager, coach, teacher, or parent, caring about someone often requires you to challenge and push them to improve, grow, and reach their full potential. But for tough love to work, love must come first. We must love tough to bring out the best in those we lead.”

"Panorama helps us get out in front of students and groups of students who are falling off track before we have to be in reaction mode. We're also able to understand if our efforts are making a difference at the individual student, school, and district levels."

“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.”

"At Stough, they've been learning from more families and how to best build family-school partnerships. The principal saw, in Panorama, that families could be better reached, and is now taking action on that data."

“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.”

“It used to take me two to three days to pull the data across attendance, behavior, and grades with spreadsheets. It now takes minutes using the Panorama system."

"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."

"In our district plan, SEL and academics are side by side. They are both equally important parts of what we are doing. We believe that as we educate and graduate students, we have to prepare them in both areas."

“We had a lot of data, but it was all over the place and we didn’t have a uniform process for building the capacity of our staff to use it. We wanted to create a district-wide protocol so that every school would have a baseline for building a positive climate.”

“In our past work looking at suspensions and office referrals, we focused on ensuring that students knew the rules and how to behave. Now, we’re looking at what’s missing in our environments that we need to build into our classrooms and schools.”
