Merit vs Panorama Behavior

Merit is a web-based PBIS platform from Eduverse, Ltd. for K–12 students, teachers, staff, administrators, and districts. It combines recognition, office referrals, and student jobs in one system. Staff can award behavior-specific points to individual students or whole classes, with recognition categories set by school, grade level, or PBIS tier. Students browse school or classroom stores and request items; staff approve requests before points are used. Staff can post classroom or school responsibilities for students to apply for or assign directly. Administrators review and resolve office discipline referrals in Merit. District reporting shows recognition and referral trends by building, grade, teacher, or behavior, with daily, weekly, or monthly email schedules. Staff access Merit through a modern browser on a laptop, desktop, or tablet. Merit says data is hosted in the United States, encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256, and stored on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure with automated daily backups. Pricing is on request.

Panorama Behavior is a web product for educators and administrators tracking student behavior and coordinating support across schools and districts. It uses Big 5 behavior data to identify trends, support MTSS practices and plan proactive interventions. Districts can configure logging fields and definitions for their reporting requirements. Visualizations show Big 5 trends and major or minor incident rates, while teams can chart Check-in / Check-out progress and review intervention fidelity. The product supports PBIS and MTSS, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions such as CICO, with incident tracking and intervention plans. Used with Panorama Student Success, behavior data can appear alongside attendance, academic and intervention information. Named SIS integrations include PowerSchool, Infinite Campus and Skyward; behavior integrations include Educator’s Handbook and SWIS Suite. Panorama Playbook adds a library of 1,000+ evidence-based, ESSA-aligned interventions, de-escalation strategies and restorative practices. Security listings include SOC 2 Type 2, 1EdTech Data Privacy Certification and ESSA Level II validation. Pricing depends on district size and selected products and is available on request.
