Leading Impact Teams: Building a Culture of Efficacy and Agency offers a dynamic school transformation framework for instilling a culture where collective efforts drive remarkable outcomes. The Impact Team Model (ITM) reimagines traditional PLCs into asset-based agents of change. Readers will explore efficacy's pivotal role-a belief in one's ability to reach goals-in propelling teams toward continuous improvement by advancing system-wide learner agency.

• Reimagine PLCs by anchoring collaborative inquiry with design thinking.
• Shape self-empowered learners who are intellectually adept and socially conscious.
• Enhance collaboration and communication by harmoniously leveraging diverse skills and perspectives.
• Advance formative assessment through an asset-based, cultural lens.
• Recognize and value learners' cultural strengths as indispensable sources of knowledge.
• Transcend conventional, deficit-minded teaching methods in exchange for asset-based pedagogies.
• Strengthen learners' capacity to purposefully and constructively direct their social, emotional, and academic growth.

This easy-to-read, practical book includes case studies, videos, and tools that help PLCs build upon stakeholders' assets. Create conditions where innovation, creativity, and empathy thrive-and where students believe in their capacity to learn.
