This $275,000 SBIR Phase I award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports research and development by Sown To Grow, Inc., a for-profit small business, to develop an innovative technology that measures the strength of student-teacher relationships at scale. The project aims to create new frameworks for defining trusting relationships based on the depth of student reflections, teacher responses, and how those responses change over time. The technology will leverage advanced natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) techniques to model these frameworks and generate a student-teacher relationship trust metric. This metric will help schools and districts across the country better understand the emotional health and relationship strength in their schools, with the goal of improving student well-being, reducing absenteeism, and addressing teacher burnout. Sown To Grow, Inc. will serve as the sole prime recipient for this 12-month project.
