KickUp Growth is where you can easily view and complete all steps related to evaluation for all staff who you evaluate or appraise.
A "cycle" is a set of "steps" that evaluators will complete for a specific type of staff member. For example, some districts have different evaluation cycles for Certified Teachers vs. Classified Staff.
A "step" is the building block of an evaluation cycle and represent each action that needs to be completed within that evaluation cycle. Steps might include a form or a meeting that needs to take place. For an overview of Steps, click here.
Creating an Evaluation Cycle

Set up Scoring (if applicable)
Manage Settings
Activate or Deactivate (i.e. Archive) this instance
Turn on Email Notifications for this Instance
Note: You can access this Edit page again by navigating to the Growth page, clicking the three-dot menu, and "Edit":
