    ...nvironment for our PLC that inspires and motivates the teachers. To do that I am reminded of Dr. Bullard’s statements during our August seminar when he emphasized that we are all responsible for what we bring to the group and what we contribute to the culture. Thus, I need to make sure I show up energetic, enthusiastic and motivate teachers through meaningful work of the PLC. I am also going to carefully review the Professional Learning Community (PLC) Indicators and Implications for Stakeholders work that we started in our cohort. By being intentional about what an effective PLC looks like in action from the student, teacher and administrator perspectives, I will be more intentional about how I lead the group. My goal is to move us away from the random refinements and improvements and closer to the synergistic side of the continuum of organizational learning.

    Their professional outlook on how education should be has allowed me to envision a better future for students of all ages. Smaller classes, but more classes for only a certain number of students to learn, will be a must. Also, teaching students of all ages “things to know about the adult life” is a requirement. This will help glue what should be and what is to grow into a question of the past. My plan is to create a growth of love for learning for the young generation.

  • Poly, Small Learning Communities

    1129 Words  | 3 Pages

    Long Beach Polytechnic High School (Poly) has a very interesting strategy used in some large school; Poly along with the rest of the LBUSD school district has instituted small learning communities that divide Poly into seven small learning communities (SLC) (Long Beach Polytechnic High School). These SLCs divide the students by interests and academic achievement towards particular fields and further education. All students have to be in one SLC by applying to the one they want to be in when they first go to school. I’ve heard that two of the more successful ones are the Center of International Curriculum (CIC), Program of Additional Curricular Experience (PACE ) where a large percentage of their students take and pass AP exams along with going to four year schools. I didn’t observe classes for either of these programs. Instead over my time observing at that school the last two semesters I observed students in the Medical and Paramedical Services (MAPS) and Humanities Academy SLCs. Observing a math class in the Humanities Academy I noticed a lot of unmotivated, underachieving students. This is interesting when you read the mission statement of Poly: “The Mission of Long Beach Polytechnic High school is to support the personal and intellectual success of every Poly student, every day.

  • Three Key Dimensions on Which Communities of Practice Influence the Development of Its Social Capital

    This thesis utilises McDermott and Snyder (2002) definition of communities of practice (CoP). This definition is relevant and consistently useful to this research because the authors define communities of practice as groups of people who share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their knowledge and expertise in this area by interacting on an ongoing basis. On the other hand, Lesser and Storck (2001) define these communities could meet at a physical location or could be virtually connected through various communication media such as email and internet applications.

    The crippling effects of isolation in university students make it essential for colleges to provide Living Learning Communities in order for the students to prosper. The goal of Living Learning Communities is to provide a social environment for college students who share an interest, value, or characteristic. Some types of Living Learning Communities include Women in Science and Engineering, LGBTQA+, the Fine Arts Community, and ROTC. While some people believe that Living Learning Communities limit the variety of viewpoints a student will receive, they actually establish an invaluable support system for college students.

  • Community Of Practice Analysis

    531 Words  | 2 Pages

    The establishment of a community of practice may vary: some are small while others are large, without determining how many people should be involved. The membership of community of practice is voluntary (self-selected or assigned) and often structured into a nucleus group and peripheral members. Meanwhile, the leadership can be provided by members and management coming both formally and informally from within and outside the community (distributed). The meeting can take place anywhere, such as on a campus, at a workplace, home, hotel, etc. (Wenger at al., 2002). Over an extended period of meeting, the community of practice needs a facilitator to facilitate the work of the community of practice because facilitation is a way or tool to enhance integration, inclusion, involvement, participation, and equality within the community. Knowledge sharing can be held narratively, or through questions and discussion among the communities (Brown & Duguid, 1991; Prendiville, 2008; Saint-Onge & Wallace, 2003; Wenger, McDermott & Snyder, 2002). The community of practice, according to Cox (2005), has three elements within an organization, namely working, innovation, and learning. Learning within this community of practice is both formal and informal; nonetheless, it demands the community members (learning community) to become good practitioners (Orr, 1991, as cited in Brown & Duguid,

  • Benefits of Collaborative Learning

    525 Words  | 2 Pages

    Collaborative learning is a situation where two or more people attempt to learn something together. Dillenbourg, P. (1999). Lev Semenovich Vygotsky, (born in 1986), introduced his theory that, human development—child development as well as the development of all human kind—is the result of interactions between people and their social environments. What this states is that the development of a “higher education” is the product of comparing and contrasting ideas of others ultimately to conclude a solution to a problem as a whole or group. Everyone’s input in a collaborative situation will play a role in final solution.

  • Collaborative Learning Essay

    1176 Words  | 3 Pages

    Proponents claim that learners’ academic achievement can be significantly improved with the effectiveness of use of collaborative learning. The active exchange of ideas within small groups increases interest among learners and also promotes critical thinking and deeper levels of understanding of concepts (Benware & Deci, 1984). According to Johnson & Johnson (1986), there is convincing evidence that collaborative teams achieve high level of thoughts and retain information longer than learners who work as individuals. The shared learning gives learners an opportunity to engage in discussion, take responsibility for their own learning, and thus become critical thinkers (Totten, Sills, & Russ, 1991).
