TEA2: Research Results
The study investigated the effects of providing continuous and sustained professional learning and support and the effects on the three teaching components of student engagement (SE), classroom management (CM), and instructional strategies (IS). Click on the link below for results brochure.
The Delta Teacher Efficacy Curriculum (DTEC) is a professional learning and development approach that begins with pre-assessment and extends to implicit biases, culturally relevant teaching, and teacher efficacy in the areas of classroom management, instructional methods, and student engagement.

Teachers Advocating to lead Great change (T.A.G.) is an initiative that builds upon the teacher advocacy component of the Delta Teacher Efficacy Campaign (DTEC). TAG Participants in 4 regions will increase awareness in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and build to execute a local TAG Advocacy Project.
The Delta Research and Educational Foundation (DREF), in collaboration withDelta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (DST), launched the Delta Teacher Efficacy Campaign (DTEC), a highly impactful educational endeavor in July 2014. The Delta Teacher Efficacy Campaign emanates from the Foundation and the Sorority’s joint commitment to ensuring that all students are educated in a manner that prepares them to enter and excel in college, and, ultimately, create a thriving life and career for themselves. With guidance from DREF's National Advisory Council (DTEC-NAC) the strategic plan for DTEC was created resulting in over 200 urban teachers receiving professional development through 2016.
DTEC's mission aims to raise awareness about the relationship between teacher efficacy and student achievement by focusing on a myriad of topics through the lens of personal efficacy and confidence. Fullan and Hargraves (2016), states that professional learning and development (PLD) are deliberate ways to improve the quality of teaching. Building upon this concept, DTEC's goal is to equip teachers to shift into teacher leadership and community advocacy and create a critical mass to lead change.
