In Educator Perspectives of Self-Efficacy with Special Populations: From Administrators to Pre-Service Teachers, the authors argue for the importance of self-efficacy in all realms of education, starting with pre-service teachers, whose efficacy levels significantly impact their classroom confidence and effectiveness. Teachers who are confident in their ability to positively impact learning tend to implement evidence-based interventions, offer constructive feedback, and cultivate supportive classroom atmospheres. Administrators who foster inclusive practices, offer professional development, and nurture positive school cultures can enhance student success. In addition, when used effectively, technology empowers educators to tailor instruction, personalize learning, and support special populations, albeit with potential challenges. Likewise, skilled classroom management fueled by high self-efficacy, establishes clear expectations, fosters positive student relationships, and effectively addresses behavioral issues. In essence, self-efficacy serves as a cornerstone in educational dynamics, shaping attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes across stakeholders. By nurturing belief in their abilities and fortifying support structures, educators pave the way for inclusive and equitable learning environments.

In this book the editors have been able to provide a snapshot of current research being undertaken in the Asia-Pacific region in regards to teacher self-efficacy beliefs. This includes specific focuses on inclusive teaching, professionalism, subject domains, collective efficacy as well as specific contexts of early childhood education and care, primary schools education, special needs schools and teacher education. This allows the reader to begin to develop an understanding about the complexity of teacher self-efficacy as well as the development and relationship between self-efficacy and other theoretical constructs and concepts. The book begins with an overall summary of research in the Asia-Pacific region before moving to a specific focus on research in different countries. All of the chapters also provide hope to the reader about the possibilities of understanding and supporting teachers and schools beliefs to enhance teacher behaviour. Through the implementation of teacher self-efficacy beliefs into educational contexts, teacher education programmes and professional development programmes, there is strong hope that the outcomes of education systems in supporting all students in their learning can be achieved. By allowing teachers to develop their own sources of efficacy and supporting these through all stages of career development, all children can be supported in their own learning.

School, apart from being a place of education and transmission of new knowledge, should also be a place of personal development and enhancement of students' well-being and mental resilience, while protecting mental health and preventing teacher burnout. The current covid-19 pandemic has made the need for psychological support for students and teachers more urgent than ever. The science of positive psychology has offered many tools and methods that are particularly effective in the school environment and in educational contexts in general. New tools, methods, and practices are needed to enhance the well-being and psychological resilience of students, teachers, and parents in a time of challenges such as the current pandemic and inflation that cause stress, uncertainty, and an increase in psychopathology.
