Selection
School districts are constantly working to attract, recruit, and develop effective teachers and increase student success.
Gallup gives schools a competitive edge in the battle for talent. Gallup uses a researched-based approach to recruiting and hiring principals, teachers, and support staff. We partner with school districts to measure the ongoing effectiveness of hiring and development strategies, building a proven track record of success.
Use of Gallup's selection instruments gives schools an additional, reliable measurement of a factor that is often overlooked in the hiring process: talent. When it comes to excellence in any role, skills, knowledge, and practice matter, but they do not paint the full picture. Measuring talent -- naturally occurring patterns of thought, feeling, and behavior -- empowers school districts to make who they hire the most important and effective decision they ever make.
Building a database of talent in your hiring pool enables district leaders to take a proactive approach to recruiting and developing the best in the field. Research indicates that hiring teachers in the top tier of a candidate talent database has a positive long-term effect on student achievement. Once hired, these teachers need great principals to help lead and set a culture of success. An outstanding support staff completes the talent suite, positively effecting school engagement and ultimately creating better places for educators to teach and students to learn.
