LEADERSHIP EFFICACY SSP initial focus is on building leadership capacity—hypothesize that as leadership capacity increases, leadership efficacy will increase. Measuring: Management Efficacy Instructional Leadership Efficacy Moral Leadership Efficacy

HOW CONFIDENT IS A LEADER IN THEIR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE LEADERSHIP TASKS AND PERSIST THROUGH CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES? Principals starting their Year 3 of SSP had higher leadership efficacy in all areas, with significantly higher efficacy in Instructional Leadership Efficacy as compared to principals starting Year 1 of SSP.

WHAT WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT LEADERSHIP EFFICACY DEVELOPMENT? After 1 Year of SSP: Instructional and moral leadership efficacy increased. After Years of SSP: management efficacy increased. Leaders exhibit higher Instructional Leadership Efficacy after 1 year of SSP and sustain it over the next two years. Leaders in 2 or 3 years of SSP exhibit higher management efficacy.

PRINCIPALS IN SSP FOR THEIR 3 RD YEAR HAD SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER INSTRUCTIONAL & MORAL LEADERSHIP EFFICACY THAN THOSE JUST STARTING WITH SSP.
