Promoting Teacher Efficacy

Collective Efficacy: a group’s beliefs in members’ combined capacity to organize and carry out the courses of action needed to produce desired results and can impact:

their susceptibility to the discouragement that can overcome people taking on tough problems

their staying power when collective efforts either do not produce quick results or meet powerful resistance

how much effort they put into their group enterprise

how well they use their resources

the futures they seek to achieve through combined action

What a Principal Can Do

Take time to build trust - resilience

Guide communities toward self governance - self efficacy

Show teachers the research - research shows that learning in a social context is deeper than an independent context, let teachers know - stimulate and manage change

Teach discussion and decision-making skills, especially if teaching and learning communities are new in your school - stimulate and manage change

Expect teachers to keep knowledge fresh - habitually expecting positive results
