Since the RAND corporation study of more than three decades ago, researchers have continued to demonstrate that a teacher's sense of efficacy is one of few teacher characteristics related to student achievement. So what helps to build teacher self-efficacy? In recent years, researchers have established that experiences such as student teaching are highly influential in the development of teacher self-efficacy as well as the degree and type of support that student teachers receive.

These findings stress the important role and responsibility that teacher preparation programs play in developing and securing high teacher efficacy at a most influential time.
