"We make a commitment to our students and their families that we will constantly evaluate our practices and utilize our resources to do whatever is necessary to help them learn and grow.”

“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 …

"Panorama has helped us tremendously in analyzing and reporting our climate, culture, and social-emotional learning data. The data that we gather—which we always disaggregate to compare results for different groups of students, staff, and families—is primarily for the purpose of continuous improvement. The data is always meant to be a …

“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 …

“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 …

“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 …

“The biggest success story is knowing that teachers are buying into a program that we can see the benefits from. Because at the end of the day, teachers don't want just something else on their plate. They want to know, ‘is this a useful tool to me?’ As long as …

“We just have so much data that people get lost very quickly. It's hard to hone in on what's important and Panorama helps us do that. The smart groups function really interests me because it's a way to set criteria and constantly have a refreshed data set of students that …

“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 …

“There are so many resources that are research-based and rich in content that you can use in there, like with Playbook. And there are resources that you all provide that if you don't have an answer for something, you don't have to recreate the wheel by trying to create something …

“Sometimes you want to provide a product to your schools and it just falls flat. They think, oh, this is another thing. And what I've seen with Panorama is that that is no longer an issue. Folks enjoy it. They get curious about data. Something about it draws them in. …
