What is it, specifically, that instructional leaders and teachers do to support and implement Collective Efficacy? In this interactive and engaging session, participants will learn how teacher and leadership efficacy can make a significant difference to student learning.
Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE) represents the overall belief of a school and its teachers that they can positively affect students. Is it possible for teachers and leaders to have a more significant influence on student achievement when they combine their collective efforts? CTE is a construct that focuses on a shared belief by faculty that together they can improve the lives of the students they serve. It simply means that we can be effective, and when we are, it boosts our self and collective efficacy.
According to Professor John Hattie (Visible Learning), Collective Efficacy ranks number one out of 250 influences that impact student achievement and progress. With an overall effect size of 1.39, simply stated, student achievement improves when teachers and leaders work together to make each other better.
Join Steve for an unforgettable, inspirational session, and learn how to pursue higher levels of collective efficacy with greater focus, rigor and clarity.
