"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."

"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."

"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."

“Teachers showed us the data voluntarily, and a lot of them were surprised by some of the things that their students shared. When we did the next round of surveys, a lot of them had made positive changes to their practice,and the results reflected that. They’re cultivating a growth mindset …

“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.”

“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."

"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."

"We were able to work with our colleagues at Panorama to find areas where Panorama topics and our Portrait of a Graduate competencies had a good match.”

"When we implemented the Panorama survey and got feedback from our students, we saw Sense of Belonging and Engagement decrease beginning in kindergarten and going all the way through secondary school. So, the board made a goal for our superintendent: to boldly redefine the high school experience."

"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.”

"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 …

“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."

"Panorama has allowed us to make a quantum leap in our approach to student support. We can ask, 'How is this student responding to our instruction?' in data meetings and instructional planning. We're becoming more responsive to the needs of our student body."
