Panorama SEL Survey for Students
Thank you for being our valued partners as we work together to educate your children. As you may already be aware, building our students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) skills is an important goal for our district this year. Throughout the year students will engage in lessons and activities that directly teach and practice social emotional skills and competencies.
In October, we will be asking for your child to reflect on their own experiences, mindsets and approaches to learning via an online SEL survey they will be completing at school. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete.
The survey content will ask students to reflect on their own self-management, social-awareness, emotional regulation, teacher-student relationships, and sense of belonging and connectedness.
We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences at school and how we can improve and adapt our district’s practices to their needs. The responses to these surveys will be completely confidential.
We will be using an online platform called Panorama. Panorama provides research-backed surveys and feedback to help educators act on data and improve student outcomes. Panorama is used in 21,000 schools across 46 states, including New Trier High School.
If you have any questions about the SEL survey , please don’t hesitate to contact us.
