Panorama Education today announced the launch of Solara with Class Companion, a breakthrough AI-powered solution designed to deliver targeted, rubric-aligned feedback to every student in the moment, while giving teachers and leaders real-time insights on student progress, strengths and areas for improvement, ultimately improving learning outcomes and strengthening teacher-student relationships.

The integration of Solara and Class Companion brings together Solara, Panorama’s purpose-built AI to drive K-12 district outcomes, and Class Companion’s interactive feedback tools to help districts accelerate student learning and support high-quality instruction.

"Class Companion is already beloved by 70,000 teachers and used by 1.7 million students," said Aaron Feuer, CEO, Co-Founder of Panorama Education. "This is version 2.0. By integrating with Panorama Solara, districts can now unlock powerful new capabilities to drive student outcomes while assuring AI is safe, private, and aligned with district instructional materials."

The combined platform enables teachers to deliver personalized, rubric-aligned feedback and gain real-time insights into student progress, helping students build skills and confidence, while giving educators more time to focus on teaching, engaging instruction, and meaningful connections.

“We saw a 15–17% increase in our students’ ELA CAASPP scores,” said Casey Steinert, Teacher on Special Assignment, Upland Unified School District (CA). “Two of our 6th grade teachers and one 5th grade teacher saw score increases equivalent to more than a year’s worth of student growth.”

Top Features of Solara with Class Companion

• Assignment and rubric creation: Teachers can import district-approved assignments and rubrics to ensure consistency with district materials, or quickly generate new ones to support additional practice, saving valuable time while maintaining rigor.
• Immediate, actionable feedback and multiple attempts: Students receive targeted, rubric-aligned feedback the moment they submit work, with opportunities to revise and try again. This continuous feedback loop builds confidence, reinforces practice, and accelerates proficiency.
• Recommended scaffolding and supports: Drawing on holistic student data, Solara recommends targeted scaffolds for students, ensuring that every learner receives the support they need without compromising rigor.
• Student reviews: Students can review and dispute AI-generated scores directly, inviting a richer dialogue with teachers, and deepening their connection to the writing process.
• Teacher overrides: Educators stay in control with the ability to review and adjust AI-generated scores and leave notes, turning feedback into a conversation.

Panorama Solara ensures the highest standards of data privacy. District information is never used to train AI models, and Panorama fully complies with FERPA, PPRA, and COPPA, and holds a SOC 2, Type II attestation as well as an 1EdTech certification for data privacy.
