"Working with Panorama made my job easier. As someone in charge of my district's data, Panorama made it incredibly simple to use our student data to set up student feedback surveys. We kept our surveys live for almost the whole year, and throughout that time, the Panorama team was exceptionally helpful and responsive."
“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."
"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."
“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.”
"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."
"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.”
“Social-emotional learning isn’t a single program. It’s not one person going into a classroom and teaching a single lesson. It’s a mindset that involves everyone in the community: staff, teachers, parents, front office staff, custodians—this is how we truly build our culture.”
“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.”
“Ten years ago, we started to build a culture of growth mindset at our school. And that has impacted how we work together—when we meet as groups, when we meet in data teams. It all starts with the growth mindset that teachers and staff have cultivated—and our legacy has informed what we’ve built and how we do business now.”
“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.”
“We had a lot of data, but it was all over the place and we didn’t have a uniform process for building the capacity of our staff to use it. We wanted to create a district-wide protocol so that every school would have a baseline for building a positive climate.”
“In our past work looking at suspensions and office referrals, we focused on ensuring that students knew the rules and how to behave. Now, we’re looking at what’s missing in our environments that we need to build into our classrooms and schools.”
“Panorama’s tools for MTSS are powerful and easy to use in our daily work supporting students.”
"We recognized that our students were coming to school with a lot of baggage that we didn’t know how to work around. If we wanted to turn our district around, we needed to address the entire picture of the student from academics, to behavior, to attendance, to social-emotional learning."
