This study aimed to discover the perspectives and experiences of elementary school teachers in rural southeast Tennessee regarding their collaborative efforts to effectively implement data-driven instruction for individual student success. The research problem is that the current collaboration efforts for teachers to implement data-driven instruction do not address the data-driven needs of individual students at XYZ School. Besides being isolated, teachers need colleague collaboration to improve their students' success. This issue is why collaboration efforts must be more effectively implemented in schools. This study aimed to analyze the perceptions of elementary school teachers about the various tools and resources they need to implement effective data-driven instruction. Ajzen's planned behavior theory was utilized to analyze the factors that affect collaborative efforts. It also provides a comprehensive analysis of how the decision-making capabilities of teachers can influence these factors. The study was conducted in southwest Tennessee on 12 elementary school teachers chosen based on their educational backgrounds and knowledge of data-based instruction. Follow-up interviews were conducted to member-check data collected to ensure that they accurately reflected the participants' responses. The study revealed that teachers are more likely to work with other educators to achieve shared goals due to their knowledge of data-driven instruction. They also reported high teacher efficacy and homogeneous ownership of the project. The study utilized multiple qualitative data sources to support its findings. It found that implementing effective structures and processes for data-driven instruction can improve the efficiency of collaborative efforts. The results support the notion that improving the administrative support system's efficiency can help improve people's perception of such instruction.
