Building Collective Teacher Efficacy with TeachFX
When teachers believe in their collective power to impact student learning, amazing things happen. Research has shown that collective teacher efficacy—the shared belief among educators that they can make a difference—has one of the strongest influences on student achievement. At TeachFX, we’re proud to help teachers, schools, and districts cultivate that collective belief, grounded in insight, supported by collaboration, and built on trust.
Our platform is designed not only to empower individual teachers with feedback on their instruction, but also to bring teaching teams together—without sacrificing privacy or autonomy.
Here’s how:
🏆 Community: Progress You Can Feel
The Community page in TeachFX brings your team’s efforts to life. Together, you can set a collective student talk goal—and track your progress toward reaching it. It’s a simple but powerful way to align around a shared vision for student-centered learning.
You’ll also see your school community represented through TeachFX badges, which reflect each teacher’s engagement with the platform. While you won’t see into anyone’s individual classroom data, you’ll see clear evidence that your colleagues are showing up, growing, and working toward the same goals. That kind of visible, collective effort is both motivating and affirming—and it’s exactly the kind of environment where collective teacher efficacy thrives.
📊 Data Dashboard: A Window Into the Collective
Our anonymized and aggregate school-level data allows educators to see what instruction really looks like across classrooms. Through metrics like cumulative talk time, usage of high leverage teaching practices, and the ability to compare to TeachFX benchmarks, teams gain a shared understanding of the current landscape.
This visibility creates a powerful foundation for collective teacher efficacy: when teachers can see where they are as a group, they can begin to believe in where they can go—together.
🤝 PLC Studio: Celebrate Great Moments, Together
TeachFX’s new PLC Studio feature makes it easy for teachers to share moments from their own classes with colleagues in a way that’s safe, focused, and meaningful. Teachers can select specific moments to bring into a PLC conversation, making their own learning visible—on their own terms.
The result? Teams that learn with each other, not just next to each other. This is professional collaboration that values teacher autonomy, honors privacy, and supports growth.
Collective teacher efficacy isn’t just about believing—it’s about seeing, sharing, and acting together. At TeachFX, we’re proud to provide the tools and community structures that help educators build that belief—not through top-down mandates, but through empowered, data-informed collaboration. The result is a culture where teachers feel supported, connected, and confident in their shared ability to make an impact.
