Collective Impact

"Collective efficacy, and the conviction it promotes, is an integral component to facilitate collective impact on a school. Teachers, as role models, leaders, and team members, have tremendous power to effect changes that will enhance student achievement and transform education for the better. But to effect great change, teachers must believe they can accomplish that change. In Collective Impact: Overcoming the Twelve Enemies of Teacher Efficacy, Jenni Donohoo and Glenn Forbes identify impediments to efficacy and detail effective strategies by which to overcome these obstacles and effect positive impacts. With thoughtful reflections and exercises to put plans into action, Collective Impact will help teachers not only realize their own potential to lead effective change, but also implement that change by fostering a culture of positivity, innovation, and mutual support"--
