Power of Hope and Engagement
Hope is a the KEY indicator of College
Success. State of America’s Schools Report
http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/168242/not-enou
gh-students-success-ready.aspx
Key Findings
✦ A 2010 Gallup study of 148 schools in a large urban school district
found that students’ average levels of hope and engagement were
significant predictors of academic achievement.
✦ In 2009, Gallup conducted an in-depth study of more than 78,000
students in 160 schools across eight states and found that a
one-percentage-point increase in a school’s average student
engagement score was associated with a six-point increase in
reading achievement and an eight-point increase in math
achievement

15. Data on Why Some Teams Work Better
KEY FINDINGS
✦ First, their members contributed more equally to the team’s discussions,
rather than letting one or two people dominate the group.
✦ Second, their members scored higher on a test called Reading the Mind in
the Eyes, which measures how well people can read complex emotional
states from images of faces with only the eyes visible.
✦ Finally, teams with more women outperformed teams with more men.
Indeed, it appeared that it was not “diversity” (having equal numbers of men
and women) that mattered for a team’s intelligence, but simply having more
women. This last effect, however, was partly explained by the fact that
women, on average, were better at “mind-reading” than men.
