“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 …

“When I started two years ago, it was my first time seeing a district measure social-emotional learning.”

“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 …

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

"Student Success is a tool that our teachers and interventionists use as a one-stop shop for data on academics, attendance, behavior, and SEL, as well as visibility into our district benchmarks and state assessments. It’s been a great tool for our MTSS implementation."

"Much of our work to adapt our core instruction has come from using Panorama Student Success to ask, 'What trends are we seeing amongst all of our students?' and 'What changes do we need to make?' MTSS is about problem-solving. It’s about identifying issues and seeing what we can do …

"Often, we want to start with academics. Really, we should be looking at attendance, engagement, and SEL—what's going on in students' lives? Panorama Student Success has helped us look deeper instead of jumping straight to academics."

"Panorama has helped us tremendously in analyzing and reporting our climate, culture, and social-emotional learning data.

The data is always meant to be a …

"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.”

“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, …

“Highline is a really, special district, and a pretty unique district as well. We're a beautifully and richly diverse district, with students that represent so many different cultures.”

“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 …

“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 …
