Summary:"Collective Leader Efficacy will help leaders build confidence within their collective leadership teams so all members of the team can learn and grow as instructional leaders and have a deeper impact on student learning. To imbue instructional leadership teams with collective leader efficacy, eight contributors are presented: mindset, wellbeing, context beliefs, working conditions, professional learning and development, organizational commitment, the skills to work in collectives, and the confidence to work in collectives. This book, and the research within it, is about improving beliefs and actions and then understanding how they intersect to create more functional, and much more effective, school leadership teams"--
