Platform-Wide Improvements

Filter rosters by school

‍

Filter Growth, Coaching, and Walks rosters down to one or more schools. District coaches and observers who work across campuses find the right teacher faster, even when two staff members share a name.

‍

Printed forms that are easy to read

‍

Hit Print on a submitted form and you get a condensed version made for paper, so a long observation takes a few pages instead of a stack. Principals can hand evaluations to teachers or file them without the clutter.

‍

Fewer emails, and easier-to-read ones

‍

We stopped sending emails that aren’t meant for you and bundled the ones that pile up. Now, evaluators should get about half as many emails from KickUp.

‍

Post one alert everyone sees

‍

Admins can put a banner across the top of KickUp for time-sensitive news like a weather delay, a venue change, or registration opening. Everyone sees it on every page, so nobody has to find the right event to get the message.

KickUp Learning Updates

Announce once for a whole collection

‍

Post one announcement at the top of a collection page instead of repeating it on every event. On a conference day with dozens of sessions, you post a room change once.

‍

Announcements just for registered attendees

‍

Facilitators can mark an event announcement private, so only people registered for the event see it. Pre-work and room details reach the people who need them without showing up for everyone browsing the catalog.

‍

A clear status when the deadline passes

‍

When the confirmation deadline passes before someone confirms attendance or gives feedback, their schedule and log now say “Deadline passed.” Teachers know where they stand, and PD admins field fewer “why can’t I confirm?” questions.

‍

Clone a whole series or collection

Admins can copy a series or collection with all its events and shift every date at once. Running the same onboarding series or yearly PD again takes a few clicks instead of a rebuild, event by event.

‍

Past collections stay out of your way

‍

The collection picker now groups collections by school year. Only this year’s (and undated) collections show by default; older years still appear when you search by name.

‍

Register a big group by pasting a list

‍

Paste an email list into the attendance modal to register staff for an event or course. KickUp calls out emails that don’t match, and you can remove them all in one click, so signing up thousands of teachers for a required course gets a lot faster.

‍

Print every QR code for a conference at once

‍

Print the attendance QR codes for a whole collection or series in one go, one code per page. Conference prep no longer means opening each event to print its code.

‍

Staff can see their own track progress

‍

Teachers can check where they stand on the Tracks their district assigned them, right from Your log. They see what’s done and what’s left without emailing an admin to ask. Admins decide whether staff can see a track.

‍

Count credits toward a track

‍

Tracks can now require credits, like “3 SPED credits,” alongside specific events. Any opportunity that awards that credit type during the track’s school year counts, so certification hours show up in the same progress view.

‍

Open-response questions in assignments

‍

Course creators can add open-response questions to a self-paced assignment, and participants type their answers right in KickUp. Written reflections no longer have to come in as uploaded documents.

‍

Fix a submitted assignment yourself

‍

People taking a self-paced course can edit or delete an assignment they’ve already turned in. Swapping in the right file no longer means waiting for a facilitator to send it back.

KickUp Growth Updates

Export step progress to a spreadsheet

Export the Growth step progress view to a spreadsheet. Evaluation leads who report progress by evaluator or school each quarter can skip copying the numbers by hand.

‍

See evaluation progress by school

‍

Group the Growth step progress chart by school as well as by evaluator. Central office can see which campuses are on pace and which need a nudge before deadlines.

‍

Save a goal as a draft

‍

Staff can save a goal as a draft and come back to finish it later. Writing a thoughtful goal no longer has to happen in one sitting, and nothing is lost if they step away.

‍

Coaching and Walks Updates

See total coaching time at a glance

‍

The Coaching overview now shows total coaching time for the school year, month by month. Switch between the coaching you gave and everyone’s, and choose which form questions count toward the total. Coaches with hour requirements, and program leads who report hours or pay stipends, can stop adding it up from exports.

‍

Name your coaching cycles

‍

Coaches can give each cycle a short name, like “Cycle 3 · Family engagement.” The name shows up on the cycle page, in reports and exports, and in emails, so it’s easy to tell what each cycle covered.

‍

Teachers can reply to walk feedback

‍

Walks now has an activity feed like Coaching, so teachers can respond to a walk and keep the conversation going with their observer in KickUp. Feedback becomes a two-way exchange that stays attached to the walk.

Dashboards Updates

Coaching cycle counts on dashboards

‍

Add coaching cycle counts to a dashboard, split by status and grouped by school, coach, or staff group. Coaching leads see how many cycles are underway and complete in the same place they review the rest of their data.

‍

Growth scores on dashboards

‍

Put Growth evaluation scores on a dashboard. Principals see scores next to the walkthrough and observation data they already review, without digging through each cycle’s Data tab.

‍

Export the data behind a dashboard chart

‍

Drill into any dashboard block and export exactly that data to a CSV. When someone asks for the list behind a number, it’s one click away.
