With the 2024-25 school year fast approaching, Lapeer Community Schools leadership and principals took part in a day of professional development Aug. 12 with Jenni Donohoo, Ph.D.
Donohoo is a five-time best-selling author and professional learning facilitator with more than 20 years' experience.
With our LCS group, Donohoo focused on collective efficacy, which refers to the shared belief among a group of individuals in their ability to achieve a common goal. It emphasizes the collaborative efforts of teachers, administrators, and staff to create a positive learning environment and improve student outcomes.
Collective efficacy has a profound impact for administrators, not only enhancing their leadership effectiveness but also contributing to a thriving educational system that benefits both educators and students alike.
“Jenni reinforced the importance of collective efficacy and how our beliefs impact student learning,” said Michelle Bradford, LCS assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. “She brought an energy to the group that supports our work with teachers and collaboration as we start a new school year.”
Donohoo will be presenting in Lapeer later this school year in February and March for additional professional development days with teachers.
