Kickboard's instructional management solution combines web-based software and professional services to help schools foster a school-wide emphasis on the whole child, demonstrated by increases in teacher effectiveness and student outcomes.
Traditional student information systems (SIS) and assignment-based gradebooks isolate teachers on classroom “islands,” siloing student data within each class. Kickboard re-imagines the traditional teacher tool set, bringing greater visibility and collaboration across classrooms.
Kickboard is powered by high energy, positive minded people who are passionate about making a difference in US education and delivering on the promise of fostering an environment where teachers and students can reach their fullest potential. We are experiencing rapid growth with a national customer base of schools and teacher training programs eager to use our solution to capture, analyze, and share evidence of whole student performance.
Kickboard has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Tulane New Day Challenge, Idea Village Challenge, Echoing Green Finalist, and First Growth Venture Network.
