It's natural for lovers of numbers to enjoy the results of the latest Gallup poll. One of my friends just shared a Gallup list that was new to me. The Gallup Q12 is a list of 12 crucial indicators of employee and workgroup performance.
I don't know if there's any research supporting this, but I have a hunch that we could re-write these 12 statements to talk about student and staff fulfillment in schools.
Isn't this what students seek when they come to class?
And it's an elegant summary of the encouragement we crave as educators, the fuel that keeps us in the game.
In reflection, I owe a huge thank you to my mentors in GISD. Thanks for looking out for me and always giving me that next push.
