The Cohort
Purpose of the Cohort
Every graduate
student who 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.
