Case Study: Wentzville School District expands professional learning offerings by 700% with KickUp

Wentzville School District expands PD offerings by 700% with KickUp

The Wentzville School District, Missouri's fastest-growing school district, faced challenges in managing and scaling its professional development (PD) for teachers. Their previous system, which used Google Forms, Sched, and Google Classroom, was clunky and provided only anecdotal data, making it difficult to demonstrate the impact of their significant investment in PD or to respond to educator needs effectively. The district adopted KickUp's educator success platform to bring structure to its teacher support ecosystem.

By implementing KickUp, Wentzville was able to streamline PD registration, attendance tracking, and self-paced learning. The platform allowed the district to be highly responsive, expanding its summer PD offerings from 18 to 132 different classes or events, a 700% increase. KickUp also provided the data and reporting capabilities necessary to show the school board how professional learning directly supports district goals and the Continuous School Improvement Plan (CSIP).
