113 Panorama Education Testimonials

“The beginning of our story is about building an MTSS for our district. In 2018, we had the basis for RTI, and we had a data platform. But the platform was cumbersome and not user friendly. When educators wanted to have conversations about student supports, they had to open a huge spreadsheet, which was not conducive to meaningful conversations. So we knew we needed to have a better data system.”

“Panorama’s tools for MTSS are powerful and easy to use in our daily work supporting students.”

"Our collaboration and partnership with the Panorama team has been exceptional! Their willingness to listen to our specific needs and brainstorm solutions allowed us to personalize training within our district learning management system. The high level of service and attention from the Panorama staff led to a smooth implementation of Student Success and surveys across our district and the intentional use of our SEL and academic data connections."

"Panorama's surveys have allowed our school to capture critical stakeholder feedback needed for continuous reflection and school improvement. The team at Panorama has really taken the time to understand the unique needs of our small district while helping us understand best practices and develop reliable survey content.Panorama provides the most in-depth and comprehensive survey analytics that I've seen, with an intuitive dashboard that allows teachers and administrators to see feedback from a variety of demographic perspectives.”

“The community made clear that they wanted more data, more communications, and more transparency from the district.”

“Data received from Panorama is extremely important. I never dismiss anything. What I learn from these surveys can only make me a better leader. Staff and parent feedback is very helpful, recognizing that most of it is perception data since they do not interact with district personnel frequently and are not aware of our day to day interactions and practices.”

“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 on. It helps us as an administrative team to calibrate where we see our faculty and where we need to put our efforts.”

“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 pattern of what students have been saying?”

“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.”

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

"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."

"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."

"We were able to work with our colleagues at Panorama to find areas where Panorama topics and our Portrait of a Graduate competencies had a good match.”

"When we implemented the Panorama survey and got feedback from our students, we saw Sense of Belonging and Engagement decrease beginning in kindergarten and going all the way through secondary school. So, the board made a goal for our superintendent: to boldly redefine the high school experience."
