<div dir="ltr"><div>Dusti,<br><br></div>I think that your experience at the school you were at is interesting. I think self-efficacy is a very important factor for teachers and especially administrators to have. It takes motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic factors to make teachers and administrators successful. If an administrator is not instrinsically motivated, then the staff is not going to be motivated. I hope that when you go to a different school, you will have a better experience. It is sad that there are a lot of teachers that do not have this type of motivation. Then as educators, we expect our students to be motivated. With collective efficacy, it is so important for staff and administrators to work as a team and collaborate together. When you are in a building that does not have collective efficacy, I feel like there is not a community of learners and everyone just feel separated. Thank you for your response. <br><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 25, 2018 at 10:17 PM, Dusti Chapman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dchapman91@gmail.com" target="_blank">dchapman91@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Self-efficacy caught my eye first so I would like to start there. I felt
like there were only a few teachers who were strongly motivated and goal driven
individuals. Not a lot of efforts were shown, but there were a few that really
stood out to me who went above and beyond. These few were leaders (to many
anyways) who had the abilities to organize and execute course of actions
needed. Sadly, the principal did not seem to have high self-efficacy nor did
she seem to care about the future of levels of performance. However, the vice principal
was wonderful and full of self-efficacy. I fully believe if she was the
principal the school would be highly motivated. In the end, self-efficacy was
seen in the minority. <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Which leads me to collective efficacy. Collective efficacy did not exist
as a whole in the school, hence the name collective. The minority, I do believe,
held the belief that their efforts impacted the effects on students. However,
it needs to be everyone pushing this vision. In order to reach success, the
faculty has to come together. Turmoil only hinders this goal. As I have
mentioned in other previous posts, the faculty meetings were heated debates and
never meetings of motivation and coming together. The few teachers that had
motivated, efforts and efficacy are holding the school together. There may not
be a lot of hope, but there is a little. I strongly believe those teachers will
not give up. <span></span></span></p>
