Elevate student voices with the Panorama Student Survey
Panorama Student Survey
Gather student feedback on school climate, teaching and learning, relationships, and belonging using the Panorama Student Survey, a research-backed survey instrument.
About the Panorama Student Survey
In August 2014, researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Panorama Education launched a groundbreaking collaboration to develop a valid and reliable survey tool to measure student perceptions of teaching and learning. Our goal was to develop a survey instrument grounded in the most advanced survey methodology and make it accessible for classroom teachers.
Capture student voice
The Panorama Student Survey gathers student feedback and perceptions about their classroom experience. Decades of research have shown that student perceptions strongly correlate with learning outcomes and can be an important improvement tool for school systems.
We designed the Panorama Student Survey as a series of scales—groups of student survey questions that capture different aspects of the same underlying theme—to allow educators to customize the survey with the topics they value most.
The comprehensive survey covers 19 key topics: from pedagogical effectiveness and school climate, to student engagement and growth mindset. Thousands of teachers have used the survey as a formative tool, educators have used it to assess the effectiveness of their interventions, and districts have used it as part of educator evaluation systems.
Survey translations are available in 12 languages, and our team can work closely with your school or district to support additional translations. For school and district leaders interested in advanced data analysis and survey reporting programs, learn more about Panorama Surveys and Engagement.
