Professional Development

Teacher effectiveness is not as simple as just hiring great talent. District leaders must also foster an environment that richly develops those talented teachers and principals. Gallup's strengths-based approach to development honors each person's innate talents while equipping schools with a language and a plan for success within buildings and across roles.

Each person is different, and the best in any role do not get there by following a prescribed set of tasks. The best reach success by capitalizing on their own talents -- natural patterns of thought, feeling and behavior that can be productively applied. Gallup's strengths-based development is deeply rooted in the science of Positive Psychology, and consultants constantly apply strengths concepts to development strategies that benefit human capital initiatives, both professionally and personally.

Clifton Strengths School is Gallup's nonprofit college, dedicated solely to the development of educators. With the guidance of a Gallup consultant, professionals at Clifton Strengths School can design a customized development plan for a school or district. Individuals are encouraged to invest in online classes to deepen their own understanding of how strengths-based education can benefit themselves and their students.
