About
KickUp is an on-demand support system for educational networks, transforming the way teachers seek, get, and give help. The number-one reason teachers leave or move from the classroom is a feeling of isolation. The number-one reason teachers stay is because they find a thought partner or mentor in the field to help them grow. We solve this problem by quickly connecting teachers to thought partners and mentors. Think Airpair meets an easy Twitter feed for education. The process: 1) Teachers post challenges to a secure network 2) Expert-appointed members reserve and then help resolve the challenge via text or video 3) Administrators use data from challenges and interactions with experts to gain a pulse of their school’s culture and needs
