Contemporary literature suggests that music education is stuck in a cycle of cultural reproduction in which music teachers and curriculum writers value Western art music more than culturally-diverse and modern, technology-saturated music's, and train the next generation to hold similar views.

For some time, arguments have been made that for the increased successful use of corpus linguistics (CL), in the form of Data-Driven Learning (DDL; Johns, 1991) in the second language classroom, teacher education programs must play a central role by providing the necessary instruction and triggers.

Reflection is an essential practice within the field of teaching. In addition, education is a profession that is in a constant state of flux as new research, theory, and policy is created. Because of this, teachers must continually evaluate, assess, and reflect in order to stay abreast with new initiatives, practices, and expectations within the…

Teachers and school leaders frequently express a disconnect in the purpose and importance of teacher evaluation, particularly as it relates to educator growth.

Donohoo et al.'s (2020)…
