Collective Efficacy

How Educators' Beliefs Impact Student Learning

By: Jenni Donohoo

Narrated by: Tia Rider

Improve student outcomes with collective teacher efficacy.

If educators’ realities are filtered through the belief that they can do very little to influence student achievement, then it is likely these beliefs will manifest in their practice. The solution? Collective efficacy (CE)—the belief that, through collective actions, educators can influence student outcomes and increase achievement. Educators with high efficacy show greater effort and persistence, willingness to try new teaching approaches, and attend more closely to struggling students’ needs. This book presents practical strategies and tools for increasing student achievement by sharing:

• Rationale and sources for establishing CE
• Conditions and leadership practices for CE to flourish
• Professional learning structures/protocols

Teachers, You Need This!

With collective efficacy having an effect size of d=1.57 this information is vital for teachers. It is a book I will reread or listen to every year to help me adjust my practice. It would be a great resource for principals and teams to build collective efficacy school-wide. The book mentions a lot of resources in the appendix. I am wondering how to get those with Audible. I would love to get my hands on those.
