# KickUp

> KickUp is the leading K-12 educator success platform that helps school districts manage professional learning, instructional coaching, learning walks, and educator evaluation in one unified system.

## About

KickUp partners with K-12 school districts, schools, and educational service agencies to coordinate professional learning, improve decision-making, and ensure that professional development translates into measurable outcomes in the classroom. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, KickUp is built by former educators who understand the unique challenges of supporting teacher growth at scale.

KickUp is the only educator success platform to combine a professional learning management system, teacher evaluation, and the tools necessary to enhance and monitor instructional coaching and learning walks — replacing multiple disconnected legacy systems with one modern, data-rich platform.

## Products

KickUp offers three core products:

- **KickUp Learning**: The most user-friendly professional learning management system for K-12 districts.

- **KickUp Foundations**: An integrated instructional coaching, mentoring, and learning walk system. Consolidate data from walkthroughs, coaching cycles, and needs assessments into one hub. Align supports with district strategic plans, track coaching activity, and understand the impact of instructional coaching on educator practice.

- **KickUp Growth**: A flexible educator evaluation system for every staff role. Conduct performance evaluations with customizable rubrics, collect self-reflections and feedback, set and track professional growth goals, and leverage AI-enabled tools for evaluators. Designed to transform evaluations from compliance exercises into opportunities for continuous growth.
