113 Panorama Education Testimonials

“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.”

"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."

"Early warning indicators and intervention work are really important to our conversation about equity and excellence. We need to do more to ensure that all students engage with the opportunities that Waltham provides.”

"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 I was a social worker in the schools, the one thing that I always was stuck on was needing SEL data. I never found anything that we could quantify and use to drive SEL learning and instruction. Then we came across Panorama."

"In order to conceptualize an SEL survey to our academic-minded peers, we emphasized the connection between improving academic performance and addressing social and emotional issues with our students. The more stakeholder buy-in you can receive, the better you'll be in implementing your SEL goals."

"One of the really special things about Panorama that's unlike any other program is that it's essentially a toolbox, and you use the tools that are helpful for your school."

“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.”

“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.”

“On my computer, I have a post-it note: Look at Panorama. It reminds me to look at Student Success whenever I’m talking with kids.”

“We have data for math, reading, and writing. We also want to teach valuable life skills, but we haven’t ever been able to measure that until now. Teaching these skills is valuable and results in higher academic scores—and with Panorama, we now have a way to measure that. Academics and social-emotional learning are linked, and understanding that starts with exploring how kids are doing on a small scale.”

"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."

"Since partnering with Panorama, the data we have collected has shed new light on both the state of our district's climate as well the social-emotional development of our students. We knew they were the perfect partner for this work when we saw that equity was at the heart of their approach to SEL."

"For our staff and educators, we knew that we needed to focus on self-care and well-being. We first created a district-wide survey with Panorama for our administrators, teachers, and support staff on each campus to provide overall insights into the climate of the schools and the district as a whole. How were teachers perceiving their relationships with leadership? With so many additional stressors due to the pandemic, what was the overall school climate?"
