A SUCCESSFUL SURVEY Launch
Introduction
On this page, you can find everything you'll need to successfully launch your surveys. We understand this work is important, so we want to equip you with all the tools and resources to make it a success!
The Essentials:
Your survey-taking website: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/framingham
Your Panorama support team is here for you: support+framingham@panoramaed.com
School Leader Role
- Spread the word about the upcoming survey program with teachers and students at your school!
- Decide on the “when” and “how” of survey administration and begin communicating with proctors, including securing needed technology in your building
- Share critical information to engage your team and prepare for a smooth survey window!
- Share the proctor guide with teachers 1-2 days before administration!
Step 2: ENGAGE Stakeholders
Engage with stakeholders via sharing your goals for the work and how you're taking action on results - we encourage our partners to communicate with teachers and families:
- Families: Sending a letter home with students), sending emails to families, and making phone calls to families.
- Customizable SEL sample letter
- Customizable School Climate sample letter
- Teachers: Outlining the school or district’s strategy for the year (customizable presentation).
Here are resources for increasing your response rates:
Step 3: Empower Proctors
Proctoring a survey is important. A proctor's role is to set the tone for students who are about to take their survey by explaining the opportunity for students to give feedback on their classroom and school experiences, leading to valuable data collection.
Step 5: Monitor your Response Rates
Higher response rates will be more representative of your community and will also lower the risk of non-response bias. Non-response bias is the when there are distinct differences between those who responded to a survey and those who did not.
- Use the Response Rates Dashboard to monitor real-time response volume.
- Download Completion Lists to see who has/hasn’t submitted a survey, and encourage specific individuals to participate!

STEP 6: SHARE GENERIC LINKS
Newly-enrolled students can still take the survey using generic links.
