+ What is a PLC? “Schools create a systematic response –
processes to monitor each student’s learning and ensure that a student who struggles is provided additional time and support for learning according to a schoolwide plan.”
Data collection and analysis Response is timely and directive “Students are identified as soon as they
experience difficulty, allowing the school to focus on intervention rather than mediation.”
Students are required to receive extra instruction to help them improve their performance in school
DuFour, 2004a, p. 63

+ What is a CoP?
“A community of practice consists of members that share more than simply an interest; a community of practice shares expertise, competence, learning, activities, discussions, information, tools, stories, experiences, and a knowledge base” (Seaman, 2008, p. 270).
“A community of practice (CoP) is defined as a group whose members regularly participate in collaborative, learning and knowledge-sharing activities on issues of common interest. This community is characterized by the mutual commitment of its members as well as complementary knowledge and know-how. In this context, what makes a CoP successful are the quality and depth of the relationships emerging from the common practice which constitutes the centre of the interest of the group” (Bouchamma & Brie, 2014, p. 81).

+ What are the characteristics of a CoP?
The Domain: shared interest
The Community: shared activities and relationships
The Practice: shared repertoire for their practice

+ What is a CFG?
“Critical Friends Groups are vehicles for creating collective intentionality that reaches a shared end: increased opportunity for the disadvantaged to create equality of opportunity” (Law, 2005, p. 56).
CFG is a "school-wide professional community aimed at fostering members’ capacities to undertake instructional improvement and schoolwide reform. Together, CFG members seek to increase student learning and achievement through ongoing practice-centered collegial conversations about teaching and learning” (Curry, 2008, p. 733).

+ Our Leadership Initiative
Integrating Technology in Music Class • Use technology in a way
that enriches other academic areas
• Provide technological growth in the music classroom
• Implemented by teacher leaders
![Page 20: Megan Hoff week 3 Analysis - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/589d47b81a28abd3338b5937/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
+ Would a PLC fit our leadership initiative?
Groups are data driven and student centered Focuses on specific problems to improve student learning “Grade-level teachers who teach the same subject
should work together to answer these questions” (Leane, 2014, p. 44)
A PLC would focus on student learning and teacher collaboration while establishing a clear set of expectations and outcomes
Examples of PLC in D62: School Leadership Team (SLT) and grade level teams
![Page 21: Megan Hoff week 3 Analysis - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/589d47b81a28abd3338b5937/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
+ Would a CoP fit our leadership initiative?
Anyone with a common passion or interest can join a CoP
Focuses on sharing knowledge and resources with other teachers
“What can we do to improve our practice?” (Bouchamma & Brie, 2014, p. 81)
A CoP would be used to get more teachers interested in music/technology involved in the project
Examples of PLC in D62: No formal groups within our district
![Page 22: Megan Hoff week 3 Analysis - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/589d47b81a28abd3338b5937/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
+ Would a CFG fit our leadership initiative?
Focuses on improving teaching “CFG is believed to promote both teacher learning
and student outcomes” (Vo & Nguyen, 2010, p. 206).
Colleagues provide support and constructive critique through observations (Vo & Nguyen, 2010)
Teachers can collaborate on topics for songs for the students to write
Examples of PLC in D62: Small Capturing Kids’ Hearts Groups
![Page 23: Megan Hoff week 3 Analysis - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/589d47b81a28abd3338b5937/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
+ PLC, CoP, or CFG?And the winner is…
Professional Learning Community or a PLC!
![Page 24: Megan Hoff week 3 Analysis - PowerPoint Presentation](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/589d47b81a28abd3338b5937/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
+Why is the rational for choosing a PLC? Focus on student learning and academic
achievement in the music classroom while incorporating technology and core subjects
Encourage collaboration among various teachers to determine what will benefit student learning and assist students who may be struggling
Use data to shape instructional practice and set goals for our PLC
PLCs are commonly practiced in the district and a framework colleagues are familiar with
