“Hero by SchoolMint perfectly aligns with PBIS and the work we are so passionate about at KOI,” said Angel Jannasch-Pennell, Ph.D., CEO. “PBIS is a science and good science is based on data; Hero provides school staff with a platform to visualize their behavior data which empowers them to make informed decisions that will have a profound impact on changing school climate and culture for the betterment of their learning communities.”

“We are delighted to partner with Dr. Jannasch-Pennell and the KOI team. We share a common goal to positively impact social, emotional growth and learning for all students and we are lockstep in our mission. Combining KOI’s services and expertise with our Hero platform enables us to help schools and districts more effectively implement PBIS initiatives, train staff, and evaluate the efficacy across all school campuses,” said Bryan MacDonald, CEO of SchoolMint. “Collectively, we are expanding the impact a school can have in designing their school climate.”

Together, SchoolMint and KOI Education will impart the knowledge and tools to systematically change school culture and climate by empowering school leaders with evidence-based staff professional development, a comprehensive technology platform, and reliable data to support this noble work. Students and their families will benefit from tools that elevate student growth like easy to use Hero Apps and streamlined teacher-family communication and notifications.
