Panorama Social-Emotional Survey Information and How to OPT Out If You Do Not Want Your Child To Participate:
The East Grand Forks School District recognizes values and appreciates our partnership with you in your student's education. The district has secured a platform to garner information regarding our students’ social and emotional experiences and the need to enhance student learning. The Panorama Social-Emotional Learning platform will enable our teachers to administer a validated, research-backed Social Emotional Learning survey to students. This system gathers students’ feedback via an online survey they will complete at school. Schools nationwide use the Panorama Social-Emotional Learning platform to measure and grow their students’ social-emotional skills and provide appropriate, age-specific resources and support.
Social Emotional Learning is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. These skills help students (and adults) succeed in school, careers, and life. The Panorama for Social Emotional Learning system measures student growth on topics such as Growth Mindset, Grit, Self-Management, and Social Awareness, as well as student perceptions of their school climate, teacher-student relationships, school safety, and sense of belonging. Panorama for Social Emotional Learning gives educators evidence-based resources to use as part of their regular classroom instruction. We can further grow in partnership around students’ academic, social, and emotional needs.
The survey takes approximately 7 minutes and will be administered in the fall and spring. The baseline data will be reviewed at the district and classroom level to determine areas of strength and where more instruction or additional skill practice is needed. Individual student data around grit, growth mindset, school climate, and teacher-student relationships will be available to parents throughout the school year.
