The Cohort
Purpose of the Cohort
Every graduate student that enters the
METL program participates in a cohort group. The first meeting of
this group is an intense six credit hour experience that takes
place during the month of June. The cohort experience is designed
to immerse students in learning about educational research and
related areas of educational thought. We consider such questions
as: What is knowledge? How do we go about 'knowing'? How do people
learn? What are the purposes, methods and ethical dilemmas of
educational inquiry? The cohort experience is designed to build
community, think collectively and develop relationships among
students and faculty. In addition to the June courses the cohort
group reconvenes in mid August and again in January to revisit
ideas, and to support ongoing work.
