The state of education in America is rapidly evolving due to technological advancements and curriculum reform. Perhaps the biggest challenge that the nation's K-12 school districts are facing during this transformation is finding and keeping talented teachers. Sixty-one percent of superintendents struggle with recruiting and retaining good teachers.
Education leaders can look at their culture, their employee engagement and the success of their principals to shape what happens within their walls. We help K-12 schools focus on what they naturally do best using our strengths-based approach.
Gallup Education provides analytics and advice for education leaders to help them build a thriving school community -- one that allows each student to reach their full potential and that focuses on what is strong rather than what is wrong.
Help your students discover their talents and then develop those talents into strengths. You can provide the nation's youth with a better path to a successful future.
