Collective Teacher Efficacy is not a slogan. It’s a system.
John Hattie ranks Collective Teacher Efficacy as the #1 influence on student achievement—with an effect size of 1.57. But too often, it’s used as a buzzword without understanding what it really takes to create it.
So what does it look like in action?
1. Common Goals + Shared Clarity
“When educators believe that together they can impact learning, it becomes a powerful driver of success.” – Jenni Donohoo
Schools with CTE don’t just have “mission statements”—they have laser-focused, measurable goals that everyone knows and works toward. That means:
•Clearly defined learning outcomes
•Aligned PLC goals
•Instructional practices that are anchored in student data
2. Embedded Collaboration
True collaboration isn’t just meeting together—it’s working together toward student outcomes. According to Donohoo, teams must:
•Analyze student work regularly
•Engage in joint problem-solving
•Use protocols that focus on impact, not just planning
This means moving beyond “what are we teaching?” to “what worked, for whom, and why?”
3. Leaders Who Create the Conditions
Hattie and Fullan emphasize that leadership matters most when it builds teacher belief and action. That looks like:
•Protecting time for high-quality collaboration
•Modeling vulnerability and data-informed decisions
•Celebrating progress based on evidence, not just effort
4. Evidence of Impact
You can’t build efficacy without results. Teachers need to see:
•Growth in student learning
•Patterns of success from specific practices
•Reflection tools that track progress over time
Regularly asking: What is our evidence that students are learning better because of what we did?
5. Psychological Safety and Trust
Without trust, CTE can’t exist. That means creating a culture where:
•It’s safe to share failure
•Staff value learning over looking good
•Feedback is normalized, not weaponized.
You don’t declare collective efficacy—you build it through systems, leadership, and focused work.
When educators believe they can—and actually see they are—making a difference, the entire school moves forward.

Data can help us see people that we might not otherwise see. Used incorrectly, data can keep us from seeing what is most important all around us.

"An excellent test for distinguishing between a genuine PLC and a school engaged in PLC Lite is the school’s attention to the four questions that drive the work of collaborative teams in a PLC"

Waiting for "Buy In"... suggests folks can sell out.
Words matter.
We work on "Ownership". People support that which they create.
Have you ever taken a rental car through a car wash? Think about it.
Things we own, we take care of.
#LeadingPLC Thank you #thomasmany
A 2004 British study of 134 secondary schools reported that successful schools had a “demanding culture…hunger for improvement, promoting excellence, holding out hope for every child.”
Same things are needed in 2024 - how will you lead for a new school year?

This is what it looks like when you have colleagues who also become good friends.

Here's how you build a team that leads not represents.

Using Data well isn’t simple. It’s a teacher doing at least a dozen things well. It is a high level teaching skill in the most complicated work a person could imagine – interactive classroom teaching.

This rule is true for adults too. Your collaborative team is your "classroom". #LeadingPLC
Love this 👌🏼❤️
#LeadingPLC means we unearth problems of practice in Tier 1. Consider an instructional gap before a learner gap.
If your school follows the right direction (its mission and vision) but has the wrong people on the guiding coalition, your PLC will not reach its full potential. Start with deciding who will be on your guiding coalition then work to become a PLC. #atplc #PLCatWork
For the icebreakers in class this week we will determine the greatest Thanksgiving food of all time.
I’ll keep you posted.
