About the Education Practice

More than 70 years ago, George Gallup founded the American Institute of Public Opinion -- which evolved into Gallup. The organization he founded now employs 2,000 professionals in 40 offices around the world and has become a world leader in public opinion polling, market research, and management and leadership consulting.

Gallup has a 40-year history of working with school districts to help select, develop, and engage teachers and principals, building a strong base for K-12 students. Gallup research demonstrates the difference effective teachers make on student performance -- not just to students' academic gains but also to their hope, engagement, and wellbeing.

Driven by a mission to have a positive impact on the lives of students around the world, Gallup's Education Practice grows through innovative research. Our studies into what really matter in student achievement and teacher effectiveness are changing the landscape of education. Bringing strengths-based development into schools and universities enables students to better understand themselves and influences engagement in our classrooms.
