Anyone else out there buy the audiobook to listen to it in your car, but then two days later buy the hard copy so you can underline your favorite parts?
You know you got a good one when you also need the kindle version so you can ctrl+f your favorite passages months later. 😉

Currently loving @angeladuckw’s new book Situated!! Such a fascinating unpacking of what we can control, how our environments shape us, and how we can intentionally shape our surroundings to bring out the best in ourselves and others. #box1box2 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣

I’m loving using the tabs feature in @googledocs! 🙌
A million bonus points to @Google if we could print all the tabs with a single click ✅ and use “ctrl f” across multiple tabs for total use instances without clicking through each tab✅ @GoogleWorkspace

Narratives are how we build collective efficacy, and they must be built together.
If your team doesn’t help construct the story, they won’t believe in its ending. #Leadership #EdChat #EdLeaders

West Aurora High School’s #BiliterateBlackhawks achieved some amazing results last spring! I’m very proud of all 156 students in the class of 2022 who earned a biliteracy distinction on their transcripts! ♥️💙#Multilingual129 #WestisBest
The work of Dr. Christine Anderson and her bilingual education colleagues @sd129 prove the value of assessments in self-efficacy in this month's issue of Language Magazine. You can check it out here: languagemagazine.com/2022/09…

A2: Collective Efficacy is evident in @sd129
when teachers and admin elevate the contributions of their colleagues through @APlusFoundation
recognition and sharing each other's success stories. #MakeADifference129 #teamsbelieve

I love @PeterMDeWitt's advice about holding space for others. Truly supportive leadership elevates the contributions of those we serve.
Nothing supports staff morale more than knowing their efforts are seen by their leaders.

A3: Schools with denser, decentralized (aka LESS bureaucratic) social networks have higher levels of collective efficacy.💥
This means teachers who seek advice from each other and empower one another support beliefs that they can meet the needs of ALL students.

A4: Best Advice:
@Janet_Clinton
said to see if a new program or initiative is really working you should analyze the evidence that it isn’t.
Teams with high levels of Collective Efficacy have the interdependence to find innovative solutions together! #teamsbelieve #JanClan
A1: Collective Efficacy matters NOW because it is the #1 influence on student achievement 🥇, and it simultaneously increases staff retention and teacher job satisfaction! ✅

Looking 👀 to ease yourself back into the school year?
Check out Evocative Coaching by the Tschannen-Morans!
Love these prompts for connecting with other educators, and similar stems would work great with students!
