Product Description: The U.S. Department of Education says 4.5 million children experience sexual misconduct between kindergarten and 12th grade; nearly 10% of school children are abused. EthicsEds Preventing Sexual Misconduct and Abuse in Schools is an e-learning solution for protecting children from exploitation by school employees. The course emphasizes warning signs, boundaries, unacceptable behaviors, and the culture of silence education that can significantly lower the risk and liability of these incidents.
Market Opportunity: According to Education Week, there are 14,383 public school districts, 124,110 public and private schools, and 3.6 million U.S. elementary and secondary school teachers. Over 8.3 million people are employed in U.S. education field. Our product sells for $8/employee.
DEMO Says: EthicsEd may well be among the most important applications we've ever presented at DEMO. EthicsEd trains educators to identify inappropriate behaviors that put children at risk from sexual predators, and cues them to the unintentional actions that may harm not just kids but teachers' careers. Keeping kids safe is everyone's job. MicroAssist's EthicsEd makes that job easier.
