Teacher Development

Recruiting and hiring outstanding teachers is crucial to student success. But helping these teachers reach their full potential is equally important. Teacher effectiveness is a meaningful measurement; a constant indicator of school engagement and student performance.

The best teachers make a measurable difference on student achievement. They do this by enhancing their natural talents and putting their strengths to work in the classroom.

Gallup's Education Practice, in partnership with Clifton Strengths School, helps school districts develop a customized approach to long-lasting teacher development. Through a strengths-based development approach, teachers are better able to understand their areas of greatest potential, relate to colleagues based on strengths, and foster the unique strengths of students in the classroom and beyond. Consider the following offerings as a place to start:

• one-on-one strengths coaching with a certified Gallup strengths performance coach
• seminars designed for groups of teachers or principals
• building-level development through customized curriculum
• dedicated cohorts of higher education classes
• Certificate in Strengths-Based Education
• Master's in Strengths-Based Education
• strengths-based classroom management courses
