Traditional surveys act like an autopsy; by the time you get the data, the problems have already happened.
At Kelvin, we have identified the gaps that large, summative surveys cause.
"Kelvin is an important part of SCUSD's Culture & Climate work. Kelvin has been instrumental in helping our district embrace and operationalize the value of student voice to build welcoming and inclusive learning environments.”
- Danny Rolleri, Interim Assistant Superintendent, Curriculum & Instruction,
Sacramento City, CA
Why Districts have switched from Panorama to Kelvin
-
While traditional platforms rely on emailed links that often get buried or ignored, Kelvin meets students where they already are. By using our exclusive Chrome Extension, we remove the friction of "logging in," which allows districts to capture authentic student voice with participation rates frequently exceeding 80%.
-
Stop relying on "autopsy" data that arrives too late to make a difference. Kelvin replaces the static annual survey with a formative "Pulse" as often as you like, giving you a continuous video feed of your district's culture. This allows your team to adjust interventions and support strategies in real-time throughout the school year, rather than waiting for a summative report after the year ends.
-
Student safety cannot wait for a data processing lag. Kelvin provides immediate alerts for students who request to speak to an adult. Our reporting is live instantly, allowing administrators to move from data collection to intervention in minutes, ensuring no student slips through the cracks.
