Abstract: Cohorts are increasingly popular management tools for recruiting students into professional education programs, for organizing their learning experiences, for promoting performance-based outcomes, and for developing and using innovative teaching-learning practices. This article examines issues about the effects of learning in cohorts by focusing on existing research and posing rhetorical questions about what happens both inside and outside cohorts. The purpose of the article is to stimulate dialogue about the … Show more

“…The redesigned program will retain the cohort model of delivery that was identified by both students and faculty as a strength of the current program. Research also supports the positive impact that cohorts can have on students' success, including shortened times to degree completion and increased completion rates (Barnett & Muse, 1993;Burnett, 1999;Dorn, Papalewis, & Brown, 1995) as well as in developing stronger interpersonal relationships among students and faculty (Browne-Ferrigno & Muth, 2003;Dorn, Papalewis, & Brown, 1995). So that EC-12 and higher education students may benefit from the others' expertise in general education leadership principles, we elected to integrate the two groups of students in the core courses and break them out only for the courses particular to the concentrations; in other words, cohorts will comprise both students in the EC-12 and higher education concentrations.…”

“…When adding students, parents, and community members into the school population, schools become much larger and more complex organizations than graduate classes or programs. Besides these specifi c dilemmas associated with learning transfer effects, Leithwood et al (2003) describe three additional challenges of conducting the types of longitudinal studies envisioned by Browne-Ferrigno and Muth (2003) Thus far, my argument suggests that it is not feasible for educational leadership programs to be able to assist graduate students to transfer the skills and knowledge necessary for future leaders to establish and maintain innovations in their schools. While the learner, task, and contextual conditions mentioned above raise concerns, I believe there are some ways university preparation programs can directly confront these challenges.…”

“…While cohorts typically have been undertaken as an effi cient means of program delivery (Browne-Ferrigno & Muth, 2003), they have been found to have unexpectedly positive outcomes for students which has prompted research in this area during the past ten years. The research has supported the affective and cognitive benefi ts of cohorts in leadership preparation (Browne-Ferrigno, 2001: Herbert & Reynolds, 1998Scribner & Donaldson, 2001;Yerkes, Basom, Barnett & Norris, 1995), and many programs now use them to enhance program effectiveness as well as effi ciency .…”
