TeacherInsight™

Think of the very best teacher you have ever known. Chances are, this teacher made a positive difference in your life -- and set you on a course for a better future.

Research shows that an individual teacher's effect -- whether it is a big gain, no gain, or backward movement -- can be measured up to two years after a student leaves that teacher's classroom. What effect are the teachers in your classrooms having on students in your schools?

Gallup's Education Practice is dedicated to helping schools select teachers who consistently make a positive impact in their students' lives.

For more than 40 years, Gallup has studied measurable success in the teaching role -- and has applied that learning to help schools and districts find teachers like the very best through TeacherInsight, its online assessment of teaching talent. But the latest version of TeacherInsight is a breakthrough. In developing TeacherInsight, Gallup used value-added scores to identify the talents of teachers whose students demonstrated greater gains. As a result, TeacherInsight is designed to identify teacher applicants whose students will achieve higher levels of success.

As an online assessment, TeacherInsight provides valuable information about applicants while it increases the speed of the interview process. TeacherInsight results are based on the applicant's responses and include a total score that is predictive of an applicant's potential for producing student growth. Additional information about the applicant is provided in a Talent Dimension Report, giving districts a greater understanding of the applicant's talents and relative strengths.

TeacherInsight can be integrated with existing applicant tracking systems, making the administrative process seamless for districts. Districts without applicant tracking systems may access results through Gallup Online, a secure Web-based reporting site.
