KickUp Growth is a place where you can easily view and complete all steps related to your evaluation or appraisal.
The actions you can take to complete your evaluation include:
1. Accessing your evaluation:
On the home page, you will see your evaluation cycles listed out. If the evaluation cycle you are looking for is not listed here, you can click "View all" to see a full list. You can also navigate to your evaluations from anywhere in the app using the navigation menu on the left side of the screen.
If you've navigated to the full list of evaluations, click on the evaluation cycle you'd like to access (it is likely you will only see one).
2. Viewing your Evaluation Scores
Scores are set up by your district’s administrators and are automatically calculated based on a combination of inputs from the evaluation process. Your score appears on your evaluation page once it has been calculated and shared with you.
If you’ve received a score for your evaluation cycle, you’ll receive an email alert containing a link to review that score on your evaluation cycle page. A “Scores” section will be at the top of your evaluation cycle page. If your evaluation manager included a rubric with your score, you’ll see an arrow icon to the right of your score which opens the complete rubric criteria. A checkmark appears next to the level that your score corresponds to.
3. Completing a "Step": (e.g. Goal Setting)
The basic building blocks of an evaluation cycle are the "steps" that have been set up to represent each action that needs to be completed within that evaluation cycle by a given due date. Steps might include your professional goal setting or your mid-year reflection.
When a step is assigned to you, you will see a blue button to call out the action you need to take. Read more about steps.
Step completion is supported by smart email notifications to remind you and your evaluator(s) about actions that have been complete, are upcoming and are overdue. Read more about email notifications in KickUp Growth.
4. Viewing your Step Completion Data
Once you and/or your evaluator has completed a step for your evaluation, you and your evaluator will receive an email alert, and all of that information will show up on this same main steps page. You'll be able to reference any professional growth goals you set at the top of the page or view Walkthrough feedback or other information submitted by simply clicking on "View Response" next to a step.
You may additionally add artifacts (e.g. an image, lesson plan, notes, etc.) by clicking on the arrow to the right of the "View Response" button and then clicking on the "Add Artifacts" button.
5. Adding your Signature to a Step:
Some steps may require a signature from the staff member, evaluator, or both in order to move to the "Completed" status. When this is the case, you will see an "Add Signature" button next to a step. Read more about adding signatures to a step.
