113 Panorama Education Testimonials

“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.”

“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.”

"I never had to worry about getting buy-in from my teachers for the Panorama partnership. When a tool has real value, you don't have to try to get buy-in."

“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.”

“People who are raised here very often still live here. 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 each one of our students as well as our amazing educators.”

"There was a lack of common tools for school-teams to be using we needed to find a way to put student data in the hands of our educators (and families) in a more efficient and streamlined manner so that they could take action sooner to support our students."

"With Student Success, we are able to integrate our Student Information System with six different assessments. We are pulling together attendance, grades, and behavior data from our SIS and combining it with assessment scores, establishing a uniform system that provides school-level views for teachers and leaders to access data and take a collaborative approach to action through our system of supports."

“When we started working with Panorama, we asked them to help us collect feedback from more of our community in order to get a more representative data set. The results have been remarkable. We collected three times as many surveys from families than we did last year. Working with Panorama, we have made a huge leap forward in a positive direction with our survey program.”

“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?”

"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."

“We can’t know where to start or where to go without real data on the social-emotional strengths and needs of our students. We’re using the data to drive the professional development and resources we’re providing around SEL.”

"What is our system telling students about their abilities to manage emotions or form relationships—and how might that show up in how they're rating their social and emotional competencies?"
