like there were only a few teachers who were strongly motivated and goal driven
individuals. Not a lot of efforts were shown, but there were a few that really
stood out to me who went above and beyond. These few were leaders (to many
anyways) who had the abilities to organize and execute course of actions
needed. Sadly, the principal did not seem to have high self-efficacy nor did
she seem to care about the future of levels of performance. However, the vice principal
was wonderful and full of self-efficacy. I fully believe if she was the
principal the school would be highly motivated. In the end, self-efficacy was
seen in the minority. <span></span></span></p>

as a whole in the school, hence the name collective. The minority, I do believe,
held the belief that their efforts impacted the effects on students. However,
it needs to be everyone pushing this vision. In order to reach success, the
faculty has to come together. Turmoil only hinders this goal. As I have
mentioned in other previous posts, the faculty meetings were heated debates and
never meetings of motivation and coming together. The few teachers that had
motivated, efforts and efficacy are holding the school together. There may not
be a lot of hope, but there is a little. I strongly believe those teachers will
not give up. <span></span></span></p>
