"Arzonetti-Hite and Donohoo continue to develop the power and specificity of collective efficacy in their new book about how to lead and build efficacy for equity. Their model is 'simplexity' itself. Five big concepts are featured: goal consensus, empowered teachers, cohesive teacher knowledge, supportive leadership, and embedded reflective practices. In each case the authors elaborate on beliefs, consensus, and cohesion. For each of the five big concepts they supply clear examples (vignettes) and evidence of impact.
