High level of collective teacher efficacy and teacher commitment can increase teaching effectiveness. An outcome of collective efficacy is the concept of collective responsibility (Angelle, Nixon, Norton, & Niles, 2011). Collective responsibility is a collegial accountability where teachers share obligations for both teacher and student learning (Angelle, et al., 2011). Teachers’ high level collective efficacy increases their capacity to carry out instructional functions beyond standards. Teachers who collectively exchange teaching strategies, help each other in solving both teacher and student conflicts, supports each other in acquiring and applying new knowledge on teaching, share common practice to attain school goals and aim, and share …show more content…
Transformational leadership does not directly influence teaching effectiveness. The effect of transformational leadership on teaching effectiveness is seen only when there is a motivational boost experience by the teachers, such as increased collective teacher efficacy and teacher …show more content…
Formative decisions use the teacher performance to improve and shape the quality of teaching. Summative decisions use the evidence to “sum up” our overall performance or status to decide about our annual merit pay, promotion, and tenure. The former involves decisions to improve teaching and the latter consists of personnel decisions. In the teaching and learning context, the result of the study can help change the situations in the school institution. This study shows that leaders should be transformational to be autonomy supportive. In the university, the department chairperson and the dean need to find out how to motivate teachers intrinsically. Listening to teachers need serves as an important action to understand how to motivate them. The leaders of a school institution must know and understand the teacher’s interest, enjoyment, values and beliefs to find out how to elevate their performance inside the classroom. Teachers who enjoy teaching because they are given the choice for a specific pedagogy to use and the freedom on how to discipline their students inside the classroom can result to teaching effectiveness. School institutions should strengthen transformational leadership behaviors such as intellectual stimulation, individualized support, good professional practice, and high performance expectation because it
The second domain in the Florida Principals Leadership Standards is composed of three different standards. The first of these is Instructional Plan Implementation and is about how an effective leader must collaborate to develop and implement an effective instructional framework that aligns with the required standards and meets his/her students’ needs (“The Florida Principal,” n.d.). Due to the variety in options that are available to align instruction to a pupil, given that the instruction will be adjusted to his/her needs, I feel that the situational leadership approach will be able to be implemented in this situation to create better results as “different situations demand different kinds of leadership (Northouse, P., 2016). The different leadership styles that make up the Situational approach can be tied to this standard by connecting the necessary leadership style with the supportive and directive behaviors in the task that is performed. As an instructor, I will spend time in the S1 category of the Situational Leadership Model as I make use of a “common language of instruction”, spend time between the S1 and S2 categories by “communicate the relationships among academic standards” and by being engaged “in data analysis for instructional planning and improvement”.
Leadership has many definitions. Chin, Desormeaux, and Sawyer (2016) define leadership as a relationship between followers and a leader with the intent to promote change through a mutual vision. Therefore, leaders are active influences in the outcome of organizations, through their decision-making, strategies, and influence on followers (Dinh et al., 2014). Additionally, in the nursing context, it has been documented that a leader 's style plays a factor in patient outcomes (Fischer, 2016). Indeed, in an ever-changing, complex health care environment, nursing leadership has become a crucial factor in managing challenges and maintaining patient safety (Fischer, 2016).
This includes not only increasing test scores, but also classroom motivation and excitement. Schools should be truly committed to the expanded opportunities available to each of its students while continuing to evolve academic and personal growth. In order to successfully operate a “ good
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP Transformational Leadership is defined as leadership style focused on effecting revolutionary change in organizations through a commitment to the organization’s vision. (Sullivan & Decker, 2001) Transformational leaders are usually given higher position and are known for their charismatic sense and ability to develop high visions and regards in the work they do. They often give their best performances due to the low morale or self esteem Example: Steve Job, Bill Gates and Ratan Tata. As the existentialist rightly said, we always have a choice, in doing what we already have done or doing that which we have never done.
Leadership is a process of interactions between leader and other staff, where a leader is as a guidance that inspires other staff with vision (Marquis & Houston, 2012). A well known type of leadership theory are transformational leadership which were said has a positive
Bass & Riggio (2005, pp. 4-8) explains that transformational leaders inspire their followers to exceed their own expectations and perceived capabilities and is comprised of the four components of idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualised consideration. DuBrin (2016, p.163) suggest that leaders in a time of crisis need to
Transformational Approach Transformational leadership style work towards high levels of communication from a management to meet goals. Leaders are meant to motivate employees and augment productivity and efficiency through communication and high visibility. This style of leadership really does need the involvement of management to meet goals. Leaders focus on the big picture within an organization and delegate smaller tasks to the team to accomplish goals. Transformational leadership proves to be efficient not only in business, but in all other sectors where it is used.
Teaching is often the lowest paid career. Therefore Alderfer’s theory is likely to motivate teachers to higher levels of performance. Based on Alderfer’s theory needs are met based up existence, relatedness, and growth (Kinicki, 2013). According to Alderfer’s theory on growth people have the need to feel as though their work is challenging (Kinicki, 2013). People have the need to feel that within their work environment they are able to be creative with and self-fulfillment (Arnolds,2002).
Our text states, “transformational leader is one who influences, inspires, mobilizes, and transforms followers to achieve
Transformational Leadership As described by McShane and Von Glinow (2015)
Teacher Efficacy was first conceived by The RAND( Research and Development ) researchers United States, with its theoretical base, grounded in Rotter’s Social Learning Theory (1966).According to them Teacher Efficacy is the extent to which Teachers believed that they could control the reinforcement of their actions, that is, whether control of reinforcement lay within them or in the environment. Student motivation and performance were assumed to be significant reinforces for teaching behaviors. Thus, Teachers with a high level of Efficacy believed that they could control, or at least strongly influence, student achievement and motivation, thus the concept of Teacher Efficacy was originated. Teacher Efficacy has been defined as "the extent to which the Teacher believes he or she has the capacity to affect student performance" (Berman, McLaughlin, Bass, Pauly, & Zellman, 1977, p. 137), or as "Teachers ' belief or conviction that they can influence how well students learn, even those who may be difficult or unmotivated" (Guskey & Passaro, 1994, p. 4).
How will you achieve that state? The development and attainment of collective efficacy among new and indifferent teachers in the context of average student learning outcomes is a most difficult and delicate process. The administrator
Teaching is not controlling, but rather working with the students to learn, grow, and succeed together. By having strong student-teacher relationships with students, the classroom will be a place for each member to express their feelings and work together. Academic success depends on these close relationships and guidance that teachers and students have with one another. Classroom management aims at establishing student self-control through a process of promoting positive student achievement and behavior. Thus, academic achievement, teacher efficacy, and teacher and student behavior are directly linked with the concept of classroom management.
School and teachers can influence the extent and quality of learning for all students. Teacher’s beliefs, practices and attitudes are important for understanding and improving educational processes. They are closely linked to teachers’ strategies for coping with challenges in their daily professional life. Educators have control over numerous factors that influence motivation, achievement and behaviour of students. They are turning around their approach into a focus on creating positive school climate and responsive classroom as part of holistic quality education based on child rights where there is effective teaching and classroom management, thus enhancing students’ learning experiences.
Teachers are the life-blood of school districts across the United States. They are masters of their specific grade-level content and work tirelessly to manage the learning and well-being of their students. Teachers are the academic leaders of the learning environment within their classrooms and collaborate with their students throughout the year in order to facilitate learning, and foster creativity and problem solving. However, over the last thirty years, teacher leadership has taken on a whole new meaning.
