Collective Efficacy is THE Upstream Solution to Developing Systemic Resilience
One of the most important lessons learned from pandemic teaching is that schools with strong collective efficacy have more adaptive capacity to overcome challenges. Our students are counting on us to capitalize on those learnings to continue honing our skills and engage in innovative thinking.There are key leadership moves that cultivate collective efficacy beliefs in an organization; these are essential in successful implementation and sustainability of change efforts. Let’s explore the lessons of adversity with a specific lens on the connection between collective efficacy and implementation science.
