Evaluations that don't eat your principals' evenings

KickUp Growth is an educator evaluation management platform built for K-12 school districts. It gives HR directors and administrators one place to manage the evaluation process for every staff role — with the flexibility to meet district, state, and union requirements — and the real-time visibility to track progress without chasing down data.

Yes. KickUp Growth supports unlimited customizable evaluation cycles, so districts can configure forms, rubrics, and steps to match any framework — T-TESS, Danielson, or a district's own — as well as different requirements for different staff groups. Changes can be made without relying on IT.

KickUp Growth's AI-assisted scripting tools let principals capture observation notes in real time, automatically organizing them by rubric domain and generating feedback summaries — cutting scripting time by 60-70%. That means less time buried in documentation after a classroom visit and more time having real conversations with teachers. Beyond observations, principals can see exactly where every staff member stands in the evaluation process, hand off steps to co-evaluators without emailing back-and-forth, and pull up past feedback and goals in a single view before any conversation.

KickUp Growth's progress dashboards show exactly where every staff member stands — by school, evaluator, or role — at a glance. You can spot what's missing without clicking into individual records. Spring Branch ISD's Director of Talent and Support Services put it simply: "I don't have to click into every person's record to see what's missing. It's all there at a glance." Read their story → 

District-level leaders can see evaluation progress across all schools and staff groups in real time — no waiting on manual reports. Dashboards can be filtered by evaluator, school, role, or time period to spot patterns, flag gaps, and make faster decisions about where support is needed.

Yes. When combined with KickUp Learning and Foundations, HR leaders and administrators can see a complete picture of the support a staff member has received — PD completed, coaching logs, and evaluation data — all in one place. That means no more chasing records across systems when a tough personnel decision comes up.

As Rachel Roepke, Director of Accountability, Assessment, and Professional Learning at Bastrop ISD, put it after implementing all three products: "It's a completely different level of coherence." Read their story → 

Districts that switch to KickUp Growth cite the same reasons: it's modern, intuitive, and saves time at every level — from the principal scripting an observation to the HR director tracking district-wide completion. The AI-assisted tools, real-time dashboards, and flexible evaluation cycles are built to reduce administrative burden, not add to it.

When Wisconsin Rapids switched from Frontline, their Director of Teaching and Learning said it was "the easiest rollout of anything I've worked with in all my years" — after 37 years in education. Every district also gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager from day one, not a generalist support queue. Read their story →
