Panorama unlocks student success with Claude in Amazon Bedrock

Panorama empowers K-12 educators with Claude-powered AI tools that transform fragmented student data into actionable insights while maintaining strict privacy standards for sensitive educational information.

With Claude in Amazon Bedrock, Panorama delivers:

• Service to over 25% of the U.S. student population
• AI platform implementation across 11 states
• Integration of data from multiple disconnected school systems into unified student profiles
• Secure processing that protects sensitive student information

Breaking down educational data silos for better student outcomes

School districts struggle to understand student needs holistically because critical data exists in numerous disconnected systems. "One of the biggest challenges for school districts is that their data is fragmented across different systems. Student grades, assessment results, and screening data all exist in separate places, making it nearly impossible to get a complete view of how students are performing," explains John Kennedy, formerly founder and CEO of Mesa (acquired by Panorama in 2023).

This fragmentation creates barriers to identifying struggling students and providing timely support. The pandemic worsened these challenges, with Kennedy noting "About 20% of students nationwide are now chronically absent, missing over 10% of school days, making coordinated support even more crucial." With 14,400 districts operating independently, there's no centralized approach to addressing these widespread educational challenges.

Selecting Claude for education-grade security and performance

Panorama chose Claude for its performance quality and robust security capabilities essential for handling sensitive student information. Kennedy explains, "Claude outperformed alternatives in our internal evaluations while meeting our strict security requirements." The security dimension was critical because "Standard AI tools that improve by learning from user interactions simply cannot be used with sensitive student data due to privacy concerns."

Using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to implement Claude in Amazon Bedrock allowed Panorama to create an AI solution that maintains strict data privacy standards while working with specific student data context.

"Using Claude in Amazon Bedrock addresses data security concerns completely, ensuring we fulfill our obligation to protect sensitive student information while still delivering powerful AI capabilities," Kennedy emphasizes.

The true value of these AI models in education is their ability to use detailed student information to create personalized support. The challenge has always been doing this while protecting sensitive student data. Amazon Bedrock’s secure and private infrastructure combined with Claude's security features solves this problem by creating a secure environment where Panorama can analyze student data while still complying with district privacy requirements and regulations. This approach ensures schools can benefit from AI-powered insights without compromising their legal and ethical obligations to protect student information.

Powering personalized education through AI-enhanced data analysis

Claude powers multiple AI capabilities across Panorama's educational platform:

• Solara platform: A purpose-built generative AI tool that processes student data while maintaining privacy compliance
• Dynamic data summaries: Generation of personalized insights from multiple educational data sources
• Pattern recognition: Identifying trends and connections across datasets to develop targeted interventions
• Strategic recommendations: AI-driven guidance for educators developing personalized support plans

These capabilities address what Kennedy describes as a foundational need in education. Kennedy shares, "By creating a complete view of each student that integrates data from all district systems, we can provide powerful insights while maintaining full compliance with data privacy requirements through Claude's security protections."

Creating AI adoption blueprints for the future of education

Panorama's Claude implementation has expanded to 11 states, helping districts like Boston Public Schools and Laguna Beach Unified transform student support. The integration enables districts to identify patterns across previously disconnected information, detect at-risk students earlier, and develop tailored support strategies. Rather than burdening educators with another technology, Claude streamlines their work by automatically generating insights that would otherwise require hours of manual analysis.

Panorama envisions AI as a transformative force for building more responsive learning environments. Kennedy says, "We're creating implementation models based on real educational data that districts can share, establishing clear pathways for responsible AI adoption."

Panorama aims to "increase capacity in K-12 education when it's most needed—reducing teacher burnout while enabling personalized learning experiences" by developing education-specific AI implementations. This helps districts embrace AI's potential in ways that complement existing practices, positioning educators and students for success in an AI-influenced world.
