OneSeventeen Media Partners with Sunburst Digital to Bring Its School Safety Platform to U.S. Classrooms

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- School safety platform reThinkIt! is launching nationwide through its partnership with Sunburst Digital. OneSeventeen Media's reThinkIt! solution leverages machine learning and trauma-informed, restorative, and social emotional principles to revolutionize classroom behavior management.

Backed by seven years of evidence-based research, reThinkIt! has a positive impact on schools, including a statistically significant reduction in students' emotional distress. It provides in-depth, actionable information that enables schools to deescalate damaging behaviors. reThinkIt! helped one Texas school avert a potential shooting through real-time insights about a troubled student––a nod to research demonstrating students shared five times more through the application than face-to-face with adults.

Beth Carls, OneSeventeen's CEO, says, "With reThinkIt!, our educators spend more time teaching than managing disruptive behaviors, while students spend more time learning in a safer environment. We're thrilled more schools can implement reThinkIt! with our Sunburst partnership."

Now available via mobile app, reThinkIt! promotes a tech-forward approach to improving school climate. An AI-powered chatbot provides personalized mentorship to students and powerful safety monitoring analytics to educators, while a comprehensive curriculum enables teachers to address behavioral trends.

"reThinkIt! is a flagship product for our SafeSchools portfolio," adds Ken Leonard, Sunburst Digital's CEO. "We see a great demand from our school partners to leverage technology to support challenging issues around mental health and student risk assessment. reThinkIt!'s app-driven approach to engaging with students meets them where they are––all while providing information that can save lives."

reThinkIt! is now available from Sunburst at http://safeschools.sunburst.com/rethinkit.
