TeacherInsight helps you hire the best teachers -- fast. Based on more than 30 years of research into the talents of the very best teachers, TeacherInsight provides a quick, effective way to source and assess a large volume of applicants. This innovative selection tool allows you to:
Moving beyond knowledge and skills, TeacherInsight assesses the talents that result in teacher excellence that are difficult or nearly impossible to teach. The TeacherInsight assessment comes from qualitative and quantitative approaches with outstanding teachers and follow-up quantitative predictive validity studies. Consisting of multiple choice and Likert items in a Web-based assessment, TeacherInsight complies with all EEO guidelines.
The TeacherInsight assessment requires approximately 30 minutes to complete and is available 24/7. Results are based on the applicant's responses and include a score that is predictive of an applicant's potential for teaching success based on his or her talent. Once an applicant has completed TeacherInsight, access to the results is nearly immediate. Gallup instantly reports scores to districts through its Web-based reporting site, Gallup Online. Districts can also automate applicants accessing TeacherInsight and recording the results into existing applicant tracking systems.
Gallup provides a seminar for principals, human resource specialists, and other district personnel in districts using TeacherInsight. This seminar helps participants understand the research behind the TeacherInsight System and provides a foundation for interpreting the TeacherInsight scores. The seminar also introduces participants to the Teacher FIT (Further Insight into Talent) interview, a supplemental set of questions that principals or other staff may use with applicants.
