Social-emotional learning (SEL) describes the mindsets, skills, attitudes, and feelings that help students succeed in school, career, and life. At its core, SEL focuses on students’ fundamental needs for motivation, social connectedness, and self-regulation as prerequisites for learning. Educators may also refer to SEL as “non-cognitive skills,” “soft skills,” “21st century skills,” “character strengths,” and “whole child development.” Panorama offers measures across an array of SEL topics (e.g., Growth Mindset, Self-Management). Panorama’s surveys help educators understand student, teacher, and staff perceptions of how supported they feel at school socially and emotionally and their own SEL skill development. The intent of the survey is to capture student/teacher perspectives on their understanding and application of SEL competencies.  Schools can use the results along with the academic screeners,  attendance, behavior, and other data sources to identify and inform curricular, instructional, and intervention needs of students.

HIDOE schools will have the opportunity to offer the Panorama Student SEL Survey 3 times throughout the school year.  Each school will designate an Survey Coordinator to support teachers in proctoring the survey for students in grade 3-12 and for teachers to assess students in grades K-2.
