Enabling Conditions for Collective Teacher Efficacy Survey

Discover the Hidden Levers That Build Collective Teacher Efficacy

Research shows that collective teacher efficacy is the single most powerful factor influencing student achievement (effect size 1.34 – Hattie, 2025). When teachers believe their collective efforts can make a real difference, students learn more, behave better, and aim higher.
Jenni Donohoo’s validated Enabling Conditions for Collective Teacher Efficacy Survey (EC-CTES) measures the five key school-based factors that strengthen (or limit) that shared belief:

  • Empowered Teachers
  • Embedded Reflective Practices
  • Cohesive Teacher Knowledge
  • Goal Consensus
  • Supportive Leadership

This 20-question, confidential online survey takes teachers just 10–12 minutes to complete and gives school and district leaders clear, actionable insights into exactly where to focus improvement efforts.

What You’ll Receive

A comprehensive, customized PDF report created by Jenni Donohoo, including:

  • Overall school scores for each of the five enabling conditions (compared to a national database of schools)
  • Graphical and tabular summaries by job classification (administrators, teacher leaders, teachers) and by grade level/team
  • Item-level breakdowns so you can see precisely which statements your staff agree or disagree with
  • School-specific strengths and opportunities for growth
  • Targeted “Where to Next?” recommendations with practical, evidence-based next steps
  • Guided reflection prompts to turn data into meaningful professional dialogue and progressive inquiry

The report is designed exclusively for reflective use by school and district leadership teams — never for individual performance decisions.

  • Pinpoint the exact conditions holding back collective efficacy
  • Celebrate existing strengths and build on them
