International professional learning communities: The role of enabling school structures, trust, and collective efficacy
The International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives, Vol.11(3), pp.61-75
2015
Abstract
We explored the role of enabling school structures, trust in the principal, collegial trust, and collective efficacy in 15 pre-Kindergarten to 12 th grade international, private schools in South and Central America. The majority of these schools shared an "American" curriculum that was taught predominantly in English, but we found that local culture and school norms affected the development of professional learning communities in each school and country accordingly. In this quantitative study based upon teacher perceptions we found that the more established the enabling school structures, trust in principal, collegial trust, and collective efficacy, the more likely the professional learning community was to be developed.
