KickUp Reviews & Product Details

KickUp was founded by former educators in 2014 with the mission to help every educator thrive throughout their career. KickUp serves school districts of all sizes in 38 states—from small rural districts to large urban systems. KickUp offers three integrated products: Learning (professional development management), Foundations (coaching and walkthrough tracking), and Growth (teacher evaluation management). Districts can use one, two, or all three—and data flows across them. Professional learning leaders manage all types of PD in one place: live sessions, self-paced courses, conference-style events with breakout scheduling, and external learning. Teachers browse a searchable catalog, register themselves, and track their own progress—freeing up administrators from fielding requests and chasing documentation. Coaches log conversations and track cycles without paperwork. Evaluators manage workflows with AI-enabled tools that cut observation documentation time by up to 80%. Leaders see what's happening across schools in real-time data dashboards. Districts switch to KickUp to retire clunky legacy systems and replace disconnected tools with a modern, AI-enabled platform. The interface is intuitive—staff adopt it without extensive training and get hours back in their week. The data is connected—leaders can finally see how PD, coaching, and evaluation fit together. And KickUp's client success team provides proactive guidance and responsive support with full context—not generic troubleshooting.
