113 Panorama Education Testimonials

“The biggest success story is knowing that teachers are buying into a program that we can see the benefits from. Because at the end of the day, teachers don't want just something else on their plate. They want to know, ‘is this a useful tool to me?’ As long as we're uploading the information, we're putting it in front of them, and they're willing to use it, that's a success in itself. What I love about Panorama is a five year at-a-glance at my fingertips. If a kid moved into my school, I could click on that kid and see what they did on mCLASS when they were a first grader. You're now a fourth grader. You weren't proficient then, what were your areas of difficulty? Was it looking at nonsense word fluency? Was it looking at your phonetic awareness? So then we know where to start when you come in and how to support you.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

"Everyone knows that what gets measured, gets done, and Panorama’s surveys add an important data source to our district improvement plans. For our school community, the survey is an engagement tool in itself.”

“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.”

"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."

“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 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."

"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."

"The main priority was to continue to build relationships with students while increasing their academic performance."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"When we think about equity and ensuring every single one of the 34,000 students in our districts has the same opportunity to learn at a high level, the data says that 39% of our students clearly do not have the same opportunity. Even if that was just 1%, it is still a problem."
