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?

Collective Efficacy by Jenni Donohoo

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.

Moving from Invitation to Expectation

Last week, over 230 educators spent two days working on SAIL planning to impact student achievement. A special thank you to the board members who were able to stop by and engage in the learning and planning with our school teams.

Our theme this school year is "moving from invitation to expectation". As we start year 4 of our SAIL work, we expect that school teams and teachers are collectively responsible for collaborative cultures that show progress in student achievement. Period.

Research indicates that students learn at higher levels in schools where principals and teachers mutually contribute to leadership, as opposed to schools that lack teacher involvement in instructional decision-making (Ingersoll, Sirindes, and Dougherty, 2017). SAIL teams help build coherence for improving student learning. Thank you to everyone for your commitment to our students through your collective action and accountability.
