  In Roundtable Session: 26.080-5 - The Roles of Collective and Self-Efficacy in School Leadership

Abstract

This study explores the role of collective trust (CT), made up of teacher trust in principal, colleagues, and clients (students and parents), collective efficacy (CE), and enabling school structures (ESS) in relation to overall school effectiveness (SE). Trust, efficacy, and enabling structures have a connection to overall effectiveness; however this configuration of independent variables demonstrates the interrelations among such and offers empirical support for a theoretical framework for school effectiveness.
