Quick note: Visible Learning & Hattie
Hattie synthesizes studies (meta-analysis); he does not claim to have found all of the primary data.
Obstacles are plentiful in education…
Academic achievement…
Montana drop out rate
Inequalities…
Montana student achievement rate
Graduation rates… MT: 85.78% (2021-22)
In addition to students with serious barriers to education…
How do we remedy these obstacles?
Perhaps none of these things are the answer…
Perhaps the answer rests within those individuals who can truly make a difference…

Efficacy is rooted primarily in experience…

What is Collective Teacher Efficacy ?
CTE: “teachers' beliefs about the faculty's capability to successfully educate students constitute a norm that influences the actions and achievements of schools”
Essentially, do individual teachers believe that the entire faculty has the ability to accomplish something? (It is task-specific.)
Misconception alert! Collective teacher efficacy is not just working together as a team. That can promote it, but is not necessarily what it is.

Efficacy predicts…
...a school’s collective efficacy and greater student achievement can be increased through purposeful and ongoing instructional initiatives and collaborative teaching opportunities if instructional capacity is intentionally built through the process. Therefore, school leaders should not only look to initiatives that have the promise to increase student achievement, but also those that create the potential to develop collaborative opportunities to positively affect the school’s culture and the relationships of the people in it (Versland & Erickson, 2017).
The Power of Collective Teacher Efficacy!
Placing teachers in highly efficacious staff increases their own self-efficacy
Collective Efficacy > demographics
(SES/Race/Gender)
(Hoy et al., 2002; Hattie, 2023)
Moving from a low-average to a high-average school increases +40% student achievement (Goddard et al., 2000).

Cohesive Staff
“The strongest and most consistent relations [when looking at teacher burnout] were found for conflicts with parents and having to organize teaching in ways one did not believe were the best,” (Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2007).
4. The staff holds shared beliefs about effective instructional approaches.
8. The staff agrees about what constitutes effective classroom instruction.
11. The staff agrees about assessment strategies that are the most effective.
Responsiveness of Leadership
3. Administrators help us carry out our duties effectively.
9. The leaders show concern for the staff.
14. The leaders protect staff from issues that detract us from focusing on learning and teaching.
“...as school principals’ effective leadership behaviors increased, teachers’ collective efficacy beliefs also increased in their schools. At the same time, school principals’ effective school leadership behaviors positively and significantly predicted collective teacher efficacy,” (Cansoy & Parlar, 2017).
“The strongest and most consistent relations were found for conflicts with parents…” when comparing self-efficacy and teacher burnout (Skaalvik & Skaalvik, 2007).
Effective Systems of Intervention
10. There is a system in place to ensure high levels of success for all students.
12. There are systems in place for tracking and monitoring at-risk students.
16. Students meet with success because of interventions that are in place.
“One may conclude from these data that teachers must not only believe that the intervention they are suggesting can be effective, but they must also have confidence in their ability to implement the intervention effectively” (Soodak & Podell, 1994).
