The Panorama Teacher Survey is designed for instructional staff, while the Panorama Staff Survey is designed for staff members in other student-facing roles like nurses, guidance counselors and librarians.

When you create a teacher survey using Panorama's Content Tool, you'll notice that two versions of the survey are created: one for staff and one for teachers. These two versions of the survey will cover the same survey topics, but the questions will be worded in a way that is more accurate for the person taking it. 

When you download the sample template for your roster file, you'll notice that there is a column titled "Employee Form Assignment," where you'll want to note whether each employee should receive the "teacher" or "staff" version of the survey.

The two surveys used together are a great fit for schools and districts that want to gather feedback that is mostly instructionally focused, but from a broader group than just classroom teachers. It is also possible to compare the experiences of non-instructional with instructional staff. The Panorama platform allows schools and districts to make direct comparisons between results from the two instruments, helping school and district leaders have targeted conversations.
