KickUp

KickUp is an innovative platform designed to support educators in their professional development journey across school districts. With three main products—KickUp Foundations, KickUp Learning, and KickUp Growth—KickUp aims to enhance educator practices by integrating data from various sources, including learning walks and instructional coaching.

KickUp Foundations focuses on improving educator practice through tracking and analyzing coaching effectiveness. It enables personalized support for teachers, promotes collaboration via Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and ensures equitable access to professional development resources. This product demonstrates the return on investment (ROI) of professional learning by correlating changes in instructional practices with coaching activities.

KickUp Learning provides a robust management system for professional development (PD). It allows districts to quickly create detailed PD catalogs, helping educators find relevant learning opportunities and manage their transcripts. The platform offers real-time reporting to alleviate the burden of tracking PD completion, alongside personalized support through Client Success Managers.

KickUp Growth is geared towards improving evaluation processes by fostering a culture of trust among stakeholders. It allows for the creation of customized evaluation rubrics and provides real-time tracking of evaluation progress. KickUp emphasizes actionable feedback and data calibration, which are crucial for enhancing classroom practices and ensuring effective educator development.

KickUp is tailored to create unique online experiences that support educators and helps school district leaders monitor effectiveness, ultimately aiming to improve teaching practices across the board.
