Introduction Data is only as valuable as it is actionable. Yet becoming “data-driven” in practice means not only utilizing new tools but also focusing on the human side of the work. By partnering with Panorama, schools and districts can grow educator capacity through professional development in order to realize improved engagement and effectiveness.

Educators who utilize Panorama data can inform more reflective practices and drive decision-making. Whether it’s shifting conversations from “anecdotal” to “data-driven,” or mindsets from “carrot-and-stick” to “social-emotional,” Panorama’s professional learning workshops are a key piece of effective implementation.

With expertise designing and delivering learning experiences for schools and districts across the country, our team works closely with school and district teams to customize the training program needed to drive impact with Panorama.

The workshops in this guide include the key sessions and outcomes available to Panorama schools and districts. Any of these sessions can be adapted with a “train the trainer” focus, and always include a facilitator guide and toolkit for each attendee. Furthermore, sessions can be offered multiple times to ensure the ideal ratio of facilitators to learners.

Finally, many sessions include both a virtual and in-person facilitation option. Using emerging technology in virtual facilitation such as polling, real-time participant feedback, break-out conference rooms, and live chat, Panorama facilitators utilize best practices in virtual facilitation to engage educators from anywhere.

In the following pages, we will detail the specific professional learning modules that Panorama offers to schools and districts:
