Collective Efficacy through PLC's

When a school staff shares the belief that through their collective actions they can positively influence student outcomes, student achievement increases. Collective teacher efficacy deserves the attention of every educator because it was recently ranked as THE NUMBER ONE FACTOR influencing student achievement (Hattie, 2016).

How are you fostering collective teacher efficacy as a SAIL improvement strategy?

Do you use a collaborative teacher inquiry process with your PLC's?

A cycle of inquiry process provides a structure for meaningful collaboration, empowers teachers, and includes the interpretation of results as a necessary stage in the process.

I encourage you to look at this process which incorporates a theory of action as well as examining student learning data. Perhaps this is a fresh way to accomplish the work of our PLC's which we know in some spots is limping along.
