Kickup Coaching Update (Update)
When you work with your coach, (Aaron Salley) you may notice the coach completes a coaching log. The purpose of the log is to track focus areas of support. Beginning November 13, when a log is complete that is connected to a team or a specific teacher, the teacher will receive an email notification of what has been included in this log. Thank you for your patience in the oversight that this was not viewable to the team or teacher.
