As an aspiring administrator my self-efficacy will be instrumental in determining how successful I will be at being both a manager and leader in my school building. If there is one thing that I have learned from our time in class this past month coupled with my three years in the classroom, it is that there are a lot of situational things that I will have to deal with. Being able to look at these situations and handle them in the most professional manner possible will help me to gain a more positive self-efficacy and the confidence to handle similar or even different situations in the future. Self-efficacy for the students in my school is also very important because how students view themselves greatly determines how they perform in class and in other aspects of their lives. Collective efficacy is the glue that holds things together. Without everyone in the school building working towards collective efficacy, things can look rather disorganized. At Vinton Elementary I feel like we do a great job of practicing collective efficacy. This past year, my principal put in to place reading and math committees. The committees are responsible for coming together, discussing deficiencies that we see our students coming to us with, and coming up with solutions so that students can achieve to their greatest potential. Through our unified efforts we can take on and overcome these barriers to become more effective educators. -- *Codie Ward* *Vinton Elementary* *4th Grade Language Arts and Science* * gl_jward at seovec.org < gl_jward at seovec.org >* *1 Peter 3:18* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
