NB Lead: Fostering Collective Efficacy – Jenni Donohoo

Overview:

How can leaders leverage the sources and enable the conditions to foster collective teacher efficacy in their schools? What does the research say about effective leadership practices? How can formal and informal leaders attend to the conditions in which collective efficacy flourishes in schools? Since ‘Collective Efficacy’ topped John Hattie’s Visible Learning list of factors that matter the most in raising student achievement, school and system leaders are asking themselves: How can we foster a sense of collective efficacy amongst our teams? In this session, participants will consider how to harness the power of teams by identifying the conditions that help to enable collective efficacy in schools.

Participants will be able to:

• examine ways to foster efficacy beliefs through four research-based practices.
• consider a taxonomy for examining collaboration and teacher involvement in school decision-making.
• name the conditions, process, and consequences of goal setting.
• identify how to create the conditions for teams to interpret results, build capacity to implement effective practices, and provide feedback.
• continue to examine ways to foster efficacy beliefs by attending to the enabling conditions.

Who is this Opportunity for?

• School and System Leaders (Principals, Vice-Principals, District Staff and Aspiring Leaders)
