Setting
To support collective efficacy, formal, frequent, and productive collaboration is needed. An environment where teachers are encouraged to learn from and with one another and build common understanding is a primary factor in developing collective efficacy. Therefore, candidates will be offered bi-monthly opportunities and virtual platforms to engage with one another around critical educational topics and research.
