Developing and Supporting Activators (1 day): Focus on the role of Activators to answer the questions: What does my role as an activator look like while doing the work of PLC+? What professional learning do I need to step into the Activator role? How will I use this role and my own professional learning as catalysts to encourage my colleagues to become activators?  

Customized Implementation Days (5 days): Build on the data you gathered during the Evidence for Action Day and begin to create your action plans. Discussion topics include coaching effective PLC+ structures and facilitating skills development, data analysis, and leadership support. You also receive focused support on specific PLC+ areas. 

Collective Teacher Efficacy Workshop

Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE) is the collective perception that teachers in a given school make an educational difference to their students over and above the educational impact of their homes and communities. The question then is, “How do educators and teacher teams develop CTE?”

Collective teacher efficacy doesn’t just happen, rather it results from specific actions and working conditions. Teacher teams, operating as a collective, shape these conditions. Instead of high levels of student achievement occurring in individual classrooms, increasing an entire school’s achievement requires a collective mindset and approach.

Collective teacher efficacy emerges when teams are empowered to identify a common challenge related to student learning and execute a course of action that results in desired student outcomes. In this new one-day professional learning workshop, you’ll learn how to identify a common challenge as a collective and participate in an efficacy cycle. During this workshop, you’ll

• Gain an understanding of the concept of collective teacher efficacy and explain the value of CTE on student learning and well-being
• Work to identify a common challenge and instructional strategies that meet the challenge
• Share your thinking with others and work to achieve understanding
• Design and implement experiences that will result in collective teacher efficacy
