School-Wide, Grade-Level, Or Class Events/Programs - Parent Nights, Honor Roll Celebrations, EOY Events, etc. 

What will be done with my students

Classkick allows our team to give feedback and assess every student’s work in real time. Notes, suggestions, and feedback appear immediately on the student’s individual computer.  

Benefits to my students

Classkick allows our team to give feedback and assess every student’s work in real time. But what makes this app so important for assessment is that students can privately raise their hands to ask for help or have their work checked by the teacher. Notes, suggestions, and feedback appear immediately on the student’s individual computer.  

Budget Narrative

Last year was my first year as a 5th grade teacher. I was overwhelmed and stressed with all the curriculum and new skills I needed to learn quickly! Luckily, I had a team of veteran teachers who supported me throughout the whole year. Having new technology and being able to incorporate it into my teaching practice enhanced the way I was able to reach my students. So, when my team introduced me to Classkick, I quickly realized it is the best application on the market today with the potential to revolutionize the way teachers assess student learning and provide meaningful feedback in their classrooms.
My grant emphasized a few key points:
Classkick is a critical educator tool
Classkick allows our team to give feedback and assess every student’s work in real time. But what makes this app so important for assessment is that students can privately raise their hands to ask for help or have their work checked by the teacher. Notes, suggestions, and feedback appear immediately on the student’s individual computer. Some other things I love:
• Classkick lets us know which students are logged into the app and working on their assignment (I can monitor who is on task)!
• Students work at their own pace.
• Student work and all feedback is saved for future reference.
• I can work with my class from home when I’m sick or absent.
• I can upload any kind of content (writing, existing worksheets, images, video, audio, and websites) to create assignments.
• Being a title 1 school, class copies are hard to come by. Classkick cuts back on paper and allows every student to have a copy for review.
A Classkick classroom supports student growth
The app helps me increase student-teacher contact time for students away from the class (or for students needing extra time), improve student engagement in the classroom, and increase the number of formative assessments given to students. It also encourages independent work and self-directed learning, provides a support system for students having trouble, and expands resources for kids!
Parkside respectfully requests a grant of $2,000 for classkick software for our 5th grade team. Last year, 100% of our staff utilized classkick within their classroom. We would like to fund our whole school, however, the cost for 51 teachers would be 3,000. We would like to continue the innovation this year!
