What’s standing in the way of teacher efficacy in your school? In this episode, I’m joined by Jenni Donohoo and Glenn Forbes, authors of Collective Impact: Overcoming the Twelve Enemies of Teacher Efficacy, to explore the biggest barriers that keep teams from thriving. We’ll break down practical strategies to shift from blame to feedback, isolation to interdependence, and compliance to real commitment.

Glenn Forbes is a school principal and school improvement coach in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He has been an educator since 2000, moving from classroom teaching to Principalship. His principal experience ranges from small, one-teacher rural schools to leading large, diverse and complex metropolitan schools. Glenn’s strong belief in cultivating collective teacher efficacy and establishing a culture of high expectations has resulted in marked improvement in various schools.
