"What Panorama gives to us is priceless. In the future, we will have fewer children falling through the cracks. I think we're going to save a few kids based on the data we receive."
"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."
“In my 27 years of education I have never worked with a company that has the professionalism, follow through, and responsiveness that the colleagues at Panorama demonstrate on a regular basis. I continue to be impressed with their expertise and knowledge regarding school climate, using data to make informed decisions, and providing a racial equity and social justice lens in order to ensure student voices are heard.”
"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."
“In my seven years here at Jefferson, I have seen a transformation with social-emotional learning. It's been a culture shift.”
“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.”
“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 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 flashlight, never a hammer."
“A new teacher was feeling a little frustrated that students didn’t seem to think that she was interested in what they did outside of class, and of course she wanted to change that. Her mentor in the math department was able to give some really concrete suggestions from her own interactions with students that immediately gave that teacher some ideas, some things she could make part of her interactions with kids.”
“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 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.”
“When we first saw our results for Sense of Belonging, we were surprised. Now, we are taking action to build connections, because we recognize that emotions drive how much and how deeply students learn.”
