"I feel like we really got the best of both worlds: we were able to personalize our training with Panorama and put it into a familiar space for our educators and staff members. The training set them up for continued success as we implement our new partnership with Panorama."

"Panorama's surveys have allowed our school to capture critical stakeholder feedback needed for continuous reflection and school improvement. The team at Panorama has really taken the time to understand the unique needs of our small district while helping us understand best practices and develop reliable survey content.Panorama provides the most …

“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.”

"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."

“We wanted to build the leading SEL program in Mississippi, and in the country. We have a rough district: high poverty, gangs, low academic performance, low parental engagement—it’s a lot to work through. So if an SEL program could work for us, if it could boost our district’s academic performance …

“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 …

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

"We wanted to move beyond the academics to make sure that we’re preparing students for college and career readiness, and truly measuring the things that will help students be successful.”

"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."

"Instead of just teaching SEL, we looked at infusing SEL into every part of what we do. At the end of the day, a classroom where a student feels welcome is a classroom where academic achievement comes on its own."

"Our focus has gone from all students to each student. We realized that we needed to shift from just helping students walk across the stage, to helping them reach their future goals. The foundational goal that 'all students graduate college and career ready' was expanded to all students will graduate …

"I love that our work has shifted so dramatically with the Panorama Student Success platform. We now have a highly adaptive visualization tool where we can monitor our work with kids, in addition to sifting through and filtering those kids so that we can put them into group support settings."
