“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.”

“The students love it. You’d see students carrying Baby Yoda down the hallway, and it’s more meaningful than individual students winning something. It’s the entire class working together.”

"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."

“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 …

“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 …

“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.”

“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.”

"The data from Panorama surveys has helped us think critically about the way we are using resources in our buildings and consider different, new ways to build our students’ capacity for emotion regulation."

"This was a chance for us to put our commitment to equity into action. Our students deserve a level playing field for learning and staying connected with their teachers by video for lessons, for office hours, and for wellness check-ins."

“Teachers showed us the data voluntarily, and a lot of them were surprised by some of the things that their students shared. When we did the next round of surveys, a lot of them had made positive changes to their practice,and the results reflected that. They’re cultivating a growth mindset …

But we’re also a district where 82 languages are spoken, and many students are transferring here from around the country when their families are stationed at Fort Bragg. We’re always doing everything we can to provide opportunities for development for …

"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."
