Case Study: Charlotte educator strengthens growth mindset teaching with Panorama Education surveys

Charlotte, North Carolina learns from Panorama surveys in one school year

A teacher in Charlotte, North Carolina, sought to understand her students' perspectives on her teaching and their classroom environment. She used Panorama Education's student surveys to gather this feedback, which revealed an unexpected challenge: her fourth-grade students had low perceptions regarding growth mindset and did not strongly believe that hard work leads to increased intelligence.

The solution involved the teacher, guided by the insights from Panorama's surveys, explicitly teaching and modeling a growth mindset throughout the school year. This led to a clear shift in student understanding, evidenced by direct student feedback thanking her for the lesson on not having a fixed mindset. For the educator, the process demonstrated how Panorama Education's feedback tools are critical for teachers to perfect their practice, ultimately inspiring her to join the Panorama team to help other educators.
