Improve Collective Teacher Efficacy through PD and PLCs
Professional development is predicated on improving collective teacher efficacy to impact student learning and experience. As John Hattie states, Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE) is the collective belief of teachers in their ability to positively affect students. According to Hattie’s presentation at the Collaborative Impact Conference 2017 [CTE] is not about making teachers feel good about themselves. It is more complicated than just believing you can make a difference collectively..... it is more like “collaborative conversation based on evidence" (Donohoo, 2017).

The goal of professional learning is to improve campus culture in collaboration with teachers and other staff, ultimately with the goal of creating a place people want to work, students are happy, and the community wants to volunteer.

School systems should base their curriculum not on the idea of separate subjects, but on the much more fertile idea of disciplines... which makes possible a fluid and dynamic curriculum that is interdisciplinary.

As educators, we are only as effective as what we know. If we have no working knowledge of what students studied in previous years, how can we build on their learning? If we have no insight into the curriculum in later grades, how can we prepare learners for future classes?
