Abstract: Whether a principal builds a structure of shared decision making, shared leadership, or not, teachers will have ideas and conversations about what they feel may be more effective. These conversations impact the entire culture of a school. When teachers have the opportunity to take ownership of decision making and planning, the ultimate decisions are often more productive and well received. Such opportunities for empowerment have been shown to increase teachers' sense of efficacy. These decisions may be curriculum related, resource focused or center around improving school processes. Creating a structure that empowers teachers builds buy-in, a sense of transparency, and collective efficacy. This belief in the power to reach school goals can carry over into the entire school culture.

总结：无论是主要建立共同决策，共同领导，还是没有结构，教师有想法并与之谈话了解他们的感觉可能会更有效。这些谈话影响学校的整体文化。当教师有机会采取决策和规划的所有权，最终的决策往往更有效率和好评。赋权这样的机会已经被证明能增加教师效能感。这些决定可能是相关的课程，资源集中或围绕着改善学校的过程。
