A focus on establishing and renewing relationships must play a role in developing the collaboration necessary for curriculum implementation. This article presents a research-based argument that effective and sustainable teacher professional development, structured to build teachers’ capacity and improve student learning outcomes, would support the implementation of the Manitoba ELA curriculum.  \nA shift in the direction of the Manitoba ELA curriculum document (2020) from the previous model warrants a shift in professional development to support the implementation. The 1999 iteration provided additional support documents labeled as Foundations for Implementation (Manitoba Education and Training, 1999) . These were designed to provide “teachers with theory, recent research findings, classroom strategies, and practical suggestions for implementing curricula”(Sections 1-3) . The new Manitoba ELA curriculum framework is layered with new conceptualizations, architectures, practices, and philosophies. These are complex, abstract ideas that require time, thought, discussion, and action to unpack and explore. The writers acknowledged this challenge:  \nShifts in curriculum design and growing knowledge related to changing educator practice require shifts in implementation models. Current processes must represent networked, connected, and emergent processes that engage educators deeply and in sustained ways in conversation, reflection, and action.  \n(Manitoba Education, 2020, p. 2)  \nBecause research and evaluation of professional learning’s (PL’s) effect on student outcomes is sparse, little is known about its impact on student outcomes (Baird & Clark, 2018) . While Hattie (2012) listed professional development as having an effect size of 0.51 , he also recognized that teachers must embrace quality teaching and assist other teachers “in a collaborative manner to attain excellence\" (p. 37) . However, Fitzgerald and Theilheimer (2013) noted that research on PL has not focused on teachers as part of a team.  \nWhile many PL models exist, teachers’ integration of new policies or ideas in current practice is rare (Goodyear et al. , 2017) . Nevertheless, when departments roll out new curriculum, it is the teachers who are expected to make changes to their practices in the classroom (Borko, 2004) . Without deep understanding, however, the application of the innovations is usually feeble, inconsistent, and incoherent (Fullan, 2008) . Leaders and educators often rush to the next solution without examining possible significant effects (Fullan, 2008) . Educational systems seem “caught in a cycle of innovation upon innovation with schools expected to continuously embed new approaches, policies, methods, and ideas”(Goodyear et al. , 2017, p. 325) . Therefore, the “lack of transformative and yet sustainable curriculum change”(Goodyear et al. , 2017, p. 326) is an ever-present problem in education.  \nAt the outset of a curriculum renewal in Australia, researchers asked teachers , “What would be the most helpful support for you?” (Albright et al. , 2013, p. 117) , and the most common response from teachers in K-12 centered on the need for professional development. Teachers in this study completed an in-depth, online survey answering closed-and open-ended  \nquestions. Teachers recognized that PL must help them dig in and unpack the new curriculum, and afford them with chances to merge these new understandings with current practices.  \nThe quality of teachers has a profound effect on student learning (Breakspear, 2021) , and schools need to create a community of learners who are willing to do the challenging work because they are driven to improve student l","cbCaimKY2ANn58wK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimKY2ANn58wK","pdf",362781,"English","# Abstract\n## Literature Review\n## Challenges of Learning-Centered Curriculum Implementation\n## Process – The Professional Learning Community","[{\"question\":\"Why does the article argue that ELA curriculum implementation needs a new approach to teacher professional learning?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that successful implementation depends on building and renewing relationships that enable collaboration among teachers for curriculum use.\"},{\"question\":\"What problem does the article identify with traditional professional development and innovation adoption?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that without deep understanding, adoption is often feeble, inconsistent, and incoherent, and leaders may rush to new solutions without examining significant effects.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article position professional learning communities (PLCs) for curriculum implementation?\",\"answer\":\"It states that curriculum implementation requires professional development structured through inquiry using PLCs, creating a climate where the curriculum stays at the center of educators' discussions, planning, and instructional design.\"}]","Professional Learning Communities as a Model for Effective English Language Arts Curriculum Implementation | PDF",1792080604,25]
