Panorama Education Reviews

The way they present data in various formats helps analyze the information from different perspectives, allowing for multiple connections.

I am still learning about its capabilities. I like everything I've seen so far.

Using data to support decision making and gaining insight into the needs of our schools and communities has improved our efficacy

We have been able to best serve the schools in the district by focusing on the areas of most concern

What I like best are the activities that allow interaction with the students.

I have not experienced anything thus far that I have disliked.

I am addressing the social-emotional learning aspect of my students. I have realized that the activities I've implemented gave the students a different perspective on handling various situations.

The data analysis from the surveys is clear and helpful to school buildings, districts, and leaders.

The surveys are very long, which makes it to where some staff quit taking the survey.

Plan to release surveys with plenty of time for staff to complete and plan to send the survey around the time of a professional work day.

School climate and culture and the efficiency of building leaders.

I like it because it helps to get the data and improve the set standard from the outcome. It is also useful to make changes for particular student as the data helps to see the weakness and make an improvement on it.

Overlaying the data so one doesn't have to struggle between district, national, teacher outcome would be nice.

For educational institution this is a great program for comparison and have in had data for all.

Panorama allows you to create and house custom surveys for educational entities. My favorite part of Panorama is digging into survey results. Not only does it show your changes over time, but it shows your performance relative to other schools across the country.

The one thing I wish it did differently is to analyze qualitative (open-ended) responses. We get so many and have to read them individually, but it would be nice if Panorama would somehow categorize the responses based on key-words or sort them somehow.

We are using the surveys to better understand how parents and staff feel about our school. We send surveys out at the beginning of the year and the end of the year to learn how perspectives changed, how changes were received, and to plan for improvement in the coming years. This data is streamlined and consistent from year to year.

Much easier than excel in terms of sorting data, managing data, and not mixing or distorting existing data. Panorama keeps each 'record' and all of its fields very organized, which makes it easier to produce answers quickly. Additionally, Panorama creates great and professional reports, documents, hand outs, etc. I could not imagine doing my job, as a Campaign Consultant, with out it.

Learning the system takes time. There are many ins and outs of the program and even after using it for five years, I am still only using a fraction of what the program could really provide. The other downside is that the program is too large or not recognized my gmail and we are unable to upload it to shared drives within the company. You have to use Dropbox to share a Panorama file among the company. As a result, (most of the time)the file ends up getting corrupted.

Everyone in the company is issued a computer with Panorama loaded onto it. For all campaigns where we manage the database (sometimes 10,000+ records), Panorama helps organize the records throughout the multi-phased campaign. In campaigns where we don't manage the database, we still utilize the program to upload smaller databases and compiling and generating goals, lists, documents, reports, etc. Its a multi-facet program.

I love how it helps me keep connected with my co workers

there is nothing that i dislike about this program

I am able to keep in contact and get things done.

I love how user friendly Panorama is. But most importantly how the data gathered can be used to run a great school counseling program

Not much to dislike about this! Great climate and culture tool

I am using it as data collection for my counseling program.

the national norms, customizability, data view options

lack of customizations to schools, misleading national norms not linked to school age

getting good feedback data from participants -- ideally this would inform school practice.

I like how with panorama you can see data collected from parents, staff, students within the same school district. You can easily compare to other schools and cultures to get a snapshot of what is going on socially emotionally

I wish there more more options on how to dig into the data. Some of the questions are not appropriate for elementary but are used k-12. I think this can be changed however. I also dislike how the neutral answer counts negatively overall. This skews data on kids and shows a lot more negative feedback when they are indifferent or neutral

Make sure you recognize what scores as negative and positive and look at each person individually, even by question and look for patterns. Some questions had trends that you can also look at because of wording or vocabulary

We use panorama to look at social emotional health of our community as a school district. I love seeing the feedback especially from parents as well.
