The need for high-quality teachers has led to increased attempts to evaluate the effects of professional development on teachers' skills and their students' improvement. A growing body of research indicates that the current model of professional development may overlook critical aspects of social learning and informal collaboration that contribute significantly to student outcomes. This study investigated the relationship between teachers' collective efficacy, collaborative action, and student achievement in seven different countries. This study adds to existing research on informal professional development by examining quantitative relationships between efficacy, collaboration, and achievement across multiple contexts, subjects, and diverse pedagogical cultures. Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) was used to analyze responses from the Trends in International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) 2015 Grade 4 Teacher Questionnaire from Japan, Korea, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. Results indicate that collective efficacy and collaboration do not always maintain a consistent and positive impact across cultures and subjects. Further, evidence supporting the theory that the impact of collective efficacy is universally positive is unsupported in this study. Additional results indicate that policies that focus on changing the social interaction of teachers may have surprisingly negative implications in some contexts. Findings suggest that investing in improving collaboration and collegiality amongst teachers may be a worthwhile endevour, but that these efforts should be grounded strongly in the local contexts of individual schools and systems.
