113 Panorama Education Testimonials

“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 knew, as a community, we had to start talking about mental health and mental well-being and the strategies to support them—and remove the stigma of asking for help and support.”

"Our goal is that all students have opportunities to develop SEL skills through multiple experiences within a given day. This work should not live in isolation or be separate from existing systems and practices. We need to provide students with chances to learn and practice SEL skills throughout the day."

“Before Panorama, we knew we wanted student survey data, and we wanted to run peer surveys for staff and parents surveys, but we just didn’t know how to go about it. Working with Panorama, I can look at overall results for our schools easily. We found students give thoughtful responses. And now that teachers have seen the results, they are saying 'This is valuable. I’m getting some good data here.”

“Viewing this data is about leading with a sense of wonder. We need to seek to understand instead of feeling defensive.”

"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."

“Social-emotional learning isn’t a single program. It’s not one person going into a classroom and teaching a single lesson. It’s a mindset that involves everyone in the community: staff, teachers, parents, front office staff, custodians—this is how we truly build our culture.”

“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.”

“Ten years ago, we started to build a culture of growth mindset at our school. And that has impacted how we work together—when we meet as groups, when we meet in data teams. It all starts with the growth mindset that teachers and staff have cultivated—and our legacy has informed what we’ve built and how we do business now.”

"We must use data to inform our decision-making regarding SEL supports for students."

"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."

“We were actually seeing some concerning data about learning loss between school years—even for students who we had done a really great job of transition planning for. We felt that summer was a huge missed opportunity.”

“It was interesting to see the parents’ reactions to it, because when they saw that 25% of our students didn’t think they could get better in [academic] subjects, they were actually troubled by it, as well.”

"With Panorama, we're able to create a digital story in real time about every student. We have an early warning system with indicators across attendance, behavior, academics, SEL. It's a game changer. Our intervention coordinators and behavior coaches can keep notes and work in real time in Panorama. Now our conversations with teachers are so much more robust."

"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."
