Measuring Students’ Perceptions of Their Life Skills

Understanding how students view their own life skills helps schools better support their growth and success. Research shows that students’ mindsets, skills, and attitudes are strong indicators of both academic achievement and future outcomes.

  • Students’ self-reflection provides valuable insight into their growth and development.
  • Panorama’s life skills survey measures themes like self-efficacy and social awareness through grouped question sets.
  • Schools and districts can customize survey topics based on their priorities.
  • Panorama recommends selecting 4–7 topics and provides age-appropriate content for grades 3–5 and 6–12.

Panorama has helped us tremendously in analyzing and reporting our climate and culture data. The data that we gather—which we always disaggregate to compare results for different groups of students, staff, and families—is primarily for the purpose of continuous improvement. The data is always meant to be a flashlight, never a hammer.

We might look at the survey data and then do a focus group to ask students, ‘What would it take for you to choose that all of your teachers are respectful?’ or ‘What actions can we take as adults for you to feel respected?’ and that leads to a whole other level of action. We would never get there without data from Panorama surveys.
