What is a Cohort in The John H. Lounsbury College of Education?
A cohort is an organizational structure that we use to provide instruction, support, and guidance for teacher candidates. Teacher candidates in Early Childhood Education enter together as juniors and stay together as a group, taking courses and completing field activities, over a period of two years. Each cohort group of about 18-20 is guided during that period by a Mentor/Leader–a professor skilled in advising, supervising, and implementing best teaching practices.
