Introduction
(Demartini,2021)
Reaching consensus on goals not only increases collective efficacy, it also has a direct and measurable impact on student achievement (Robinson, Hohepa, & Lloyd, 2009).
Too often, goal setting is done in isolation by the leader or leadership team without collective understanding or investment from the teachers and staff carrying the goals out. To remedy this, goals should be built by and understood by teams and individuals responsible for them. According to John Hattie, goal setting has an effect size of 0.4.

Goal consensus is another step in building collective teacher efficacy. Goal consensus has a direct and measurable impact on student achievement Through Hattie's research we have learned that goal setting has an effect size of 0.4, and that these goals should be built and understood by both the teams and individuals responsible for creating them. The video by Corwin featuring Jenni Donohoo describes the four sources that influence collective teacher efficacy. These include mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and affective state. Teams should develop a shared vision for how they want things to be within their school. This requires teachers to think of what is, what has been, and how things should be. The blog by Kasey Keihl provides strategies and other resources to help teachers effectively set goals collaboratively.
