Teacher Efficacy

Collective self-efficacy is the most important factor influencing student learning. When teachers have a high degree of collective efficacy, they display a positive attitude to professional development and are more likely to try new, evidence-based teaching approaches, even when the going gets tough. The strength of their convictions in their own effectiveness is likely to affect whether they will try to even cope with given situations and they convey high but realistic expectations of students.

This HEADstart resource created by ESHA, provides guidance to school leaders on how to stimulate collective self-efficacy within teacher staff teams to help bring about meaningful change from within.

Read the HEADstart here and answer, in your Word document, the following questions that are presented in the HEADstart:

• How do I stimulate teachers to bring out the best of themselves?

• How do I stimulate teachers to bring out the best of their students?

• How do I stimulate teachers to persist in teaching the most vulnerable students?
