Ever wonder how some schools just seem to have it all figured out? It’s not about special circumstances. It’s about the people – the teachers. And according to Dr. Shannon Lafargue, the key to unlocking their full potential lies in fostering a culture of collective teacher efficacy with a strong coaching growth culture.

In this episode we will discuss how Dr. LaFargue created a supportive environment where teachers felt empowered, valued, and inspired to do their best work. It’s time to ditch the traditional "accountability" model in favor of a more collaborative approach, replacing it with "observation coaching".

We often talk about the need to build collective teacher efficacy, but not often do we talk about how. Today is the day you hear how Dr. Lafargue did this in his 66 school district! He shares his concrete strategies, structures and tools that got him there.
