2016 forecast - 

With states’ building longitudinal student databases that track children from cradle to career, it’s inevitable that data collected from observing and analyzing children’s emotional states will be preserved . . . forever. And because USED has guttedfederal student-privacy law to allow sharing of personally identifiable information on students with almost anyone the government wants, that data is likely to be widely disclosed – without parental consent. If a child’s school dossier says he doesn’t meet an SEL standard for, say, anger-management, could that come back to haunt him? Maybe when he applies to college, or for a job, or enlists in the military, or . . . goes on trial for a crime?

PANORAMA

Brings together social-emotional learning (SEL), multi-tiered system of support (MTSS), response to intervention (RTI), school climate, and student voice—all in one platform. Panorama pulls together all of your student/district data into one spot and gives you visual dashboard reports. 

• Move from interpreting data to taking action and improving student outcomes.
• Look at your data through an equity lens to identify and make progress on gaps in your district. 
• Ensure students are prepared for graduation and beyond by monitoring their progress every step of the way.

In a “new chapter” for Panorama, he says, the company is “making a leap from helping you understand one sliver of a child on the social-emotional side, to understanding the whole, complete picture.”  https://www.edsurge.com/news/2017-11-07-panorama-education-raises-16m-to-connect-emotional-academic-wellbeing-with-data

2021 reality -

Must the child's parent consent before physiological questioning happens?  Must the parent be able to view all the raw data collected and his daughter's or son's "dashboard" ... and view it promptly?  Must a parent be entitled to have the data deleted by the school district ... and quickly?   How does a parent say NO you cannot survey my child?
