COLLECTIVE EFFICACY CRACKER
My ten year old grandson Hudson was in a graham cracker challenge with three campmates. View the segment from 2:03 to 9:03 minutes and consider what Hattie says about a group’s impact.Ĭollective Teacher Efficacy (2:03 – 9:03 min.Collective Student Efficacy: Developing Independent and Inter-Dependent Learnersīy John Hattie, Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey and Shirley Clarke Watch John Hattie (2018b) explain CTE in the video Collective Teacher Efficacy. Distance learning has created so much stress and challenge for students, it is impossible for students to learn at home.” “What effective teaching strategies and online design can we use to make sure our students are working with an appropriate level of support and challenge?” “There is nothing we can do that will make a difference when it comes to our math state assessment scores.” “What is working and what could we do better? How will we know? How can we find out?” Until they get their behavior under control, they are not ready to learn math and literacy.” “Our kids need to learn to follow directions. “If we all set the bar high for our students, show them what success looks like, and provide the appropriate supports to help them get there, we can guide them to higher levels of achievement.” It is developed through experience, grounded in evidence of the group’s impact, and guided by the collective wisdom of the group to improve student outcomes.Įxamples/non-examples of language that reflect Collective Teacher Efficacy (adapted from Victoria State Government, n.d.) Examples of CTE CTE doesn’t just happen by putting groups of teachers together. John Hattie and his colleagues (2018a) in their Visible Learning research have rated CTE as holding significant influence over student achievement. CTE has the potential to explain the differential effect schools have on student achievement (Goddard et al., 2000). How does the group or team’s shared beliefs and efforts help them attain desired goals?īuilding on the notion of collective efficacy, CTE is a perception of a group of teachers in a particular educational environment that the efforts of the group as a whole will have a positive effect of student outcomes (Brinson & Steiner, 2007).What other examples of a group or team have you seen that illustrate collective efficacy?.Strong collective efficacy encourages individuals to make more effective use of the skills they already have, while strong individual efficacy allows individuals to function more productively in a group (Fisher et al., 2020). Individual efficacy strengthens collective efficacy and collective efficacy strengthens individual efficacy. There is a reciprocal relationship between individual and collective efficacy. Together, social cohesion and collective efficacy are the qualities that distinguish well-functioning, harmonious systems from poorly functioning, disordered ones.

Actions such as cleaning up litter, shoveling snow for elders, improving sidewalks, and attending city council meetings work toward the goal of improving the neighborhood. As an example, neighbors might (formally or informally) agree on what is acceptable behavior and reinforce it in each other. At the core, collective efficacy is about a group’s willingness to do something and their capacity to exert informal social control. Social cohesion is the foundation of collective efficacy. It involves the belief or perception that an effective collective action is possible to address a problem (Hattie, 2018). Collective efficacy denotes a group or team’s shared belief in its combined capabilities to attain their goals and accomplish desired tasks.
