As an approved vendor, Kickboard will offer LAUSD schools an array of professional development services to build leadership capacity for school culture and equity initiatives.

“While climate and culture initiatives may differ from one school to another, there is one factor central to their success: professional development,” said Stefan Kohler, CEO of Kickboard. “What sets Kickboard apart from other professional development providers is that we help leaders cultivate the right mindsets, systems, practices, and data to create sustainable change. Whether schools are just beginning this work or are further along, we can meet them where they are and guide their leaders and teachers in a continuous cycle of improvement toward the positive culture outcomes students deserve.”
