P. Knight 1, Julie M. Sykes 1, Linda Forrest 1, Carla  \nH. Consolini 1, and Johanna Jimenez 1  \nAbstract  \nOnline platforms have the potential to address the issue of world language teacher attrition by building professional learning communities. However, autonomous engagement is not guaranteed by the mere existence of said tools. In this article, we report findings from Catalyst user data analysis. Catalyst isan online professional development social portfolio that connects users to other professionals (in groups and as individuals). Specifically, we examine user behavior patterns in six areas—Group Membership, Goals, Evidence, Connections, Reflections, and Comments. Each feature was chosen because of its potential usefulness in facilitating meaningful and integrative participation in online professional platforms.  \nResults reveal three behavior profiles: 1-Testers, 2-Dabblers, and 3-Embracers. Each profile exhibits unique behaviors of engagement with the portfolio. Users who did not join any group were much more likely to show the lowest level of activity (i.e., Testers), while those who were part of a group and had more connections (i.e., Embracers) demonstrated the highest level of activity. These results support the theoretical foundation for sociocultural approaches to professional learning for teachers (e.g., Kabilan et al., 2011; Kabilan & Kahn, 2012; Kitade, 2014) and highlight the critical, and mutually reciprocal, relationship between social engagement and cognitive development.  \nAffiliation  \n1University of Oregon, USA.  \nemail: [knights@uoregon.edu](knights@uoregon.edu)  \n[email: j](email: jsykes@uoregon.edu)[sykes@uoregon.edu](email: jsykes@uoregon.edu)  \nemail: [lforrest@uoregon.edu](lforrest@uoregon.edu)  \n[email: ](email: carlac@uoregon.edu)[carlac@uoregon.edu](email: carlac@uoregon.edu)  \n[email: ](email: jimenezmjohanna@gmail.com)[jimenezmjohanna@gmail.com](email: jimenezmjohanna@gmail.com)  \ncalico journal vol 39.2 2022 172–195  [https://doi.org/10.1558/cj. 20861](https://doi.org/10.1558/cj. 20861)  \n© 2021, equinox publishing   \nKnight, Sykes, Forrest, Consolini, and Jimenez 173  \nKeywords:L2 teacher education; online professional learning communities; reflective practice; cooperative learning; asynchronous computer-mediated communication.  \n1. Introduction  \nSecond language (L2) teacher education is in a current state of crisis. More than 40 states reported teacher shortages in world languages in 2017 (Cross, 2017). This number is expected to grow in light of the many changes to education due to COVID-19. The field faces an increase in demand for teachers as a function of high levels of teacher attrition and shifts in both student enrollment and teacher–pupil ratios (Sutcher et al., 2016). However, as this demand increases, enrollments in teacher preparation programs are dropping; data show a 35% decline between 2009 and 2014 (Sutcher et al., 2016; Swanson & Mason, 2018). This shortage in pre-service training is compounded by the reality that world language teachers often receive less (if any) professional development funding relative to their colleagues in other areas. Additionally, in small districts, the scarcity of human capital begets a reality of isolation for many world language professionals. This scarcity prevents the establishment of professional learning communities, communities that facilitate the critical functions of reflection, the application of theory to practice, and the exchange of ideas in a supportive environment (Arnold & Ducate, 2006).  \nWhile not a panacea, online platforms have the potential to address world language teacher shortages by building professional learning communities and connecting educators who might otherwise be isolated. These platforms have the capacity to quickly and efficiently vault the infrastructural barr","cbCaip91JOkdJS2I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip91JOkdJS2I","pdf",509297,24,"English","# Abstract\n# 1.
