This article explores the role of a cohort leader in ensuring that the curriculum is integrated throughout the life of the cohort, that program coherence is developed and maintained, and that students, faculty, and the program assume appropriate responsibilities for learning. Reviews of literature about learning in cohorts and designing programs serve as the basis for defining three cohort leader responsibilities: curriculum integration, program coherence, and shared responsibility. The article closes with recommendations from the authors who are experienced cohort instructors and cohort leaders.  \nDelivery of administrator preparation programs has undergone much change over the past decade (Jackson & Kelley, 2002; Murphy, 1993; Peterson, 2002). Leadership preparation programs are now con  \nVolume 16, Fall 2004 77  \nducted on university campuses, at school district training centers, in local school buildings, and through cyberspace (Barnett & Caffarella, 1992; Kelly & Peterson, 2000; Milstein, 1992; Muth, 2000b). Universities and local educational agencies sometimes form partnerships to address specific district priorities, such as the need to develop leadership talent at the secondary level or among under-represented groups. Hence, educators from universities and practitioners from districts may work together to develop leadership curricula, deliver instruction, andoverseethe clinical practice of aspiring educational administrators (Martin, Ford, Murphy, Rehm, & Muth, 1997; Martin, Ford, Murphy, & Muth, 1998). Collaboration between professors and practitioners is seen as away to enhance theory-to-practice linkages (Browne-Ferrigno, 2004b; Martin et al., 1998; Milstein, 1992; Schmuck, 1992).  \nProgram changes also often require specific accommodations in instructional delivery. For example, when great distances separate students and instructors, professors may develop web-based courses or use other electronic delivery modes that are supplemented by occasional face-to-face group meetings. Even when students and instructors meet regularly in typical classroom settings, learning opportunities may be expanded through use of electronic communication (Browne-Ferrigno, Muth, & Choi, 2000; Muth, 2000b). Further, some programs focus more on authentic clinical applications of knowledge (Browne-Ferrigno, 2004a; Fulmer, Muth, & Reiter, 2003) to meet state and national standards (Muth, 2002a) than on simple content coverage. Thus, graduate programs in administrative leadership can demonstrate diverse instructional models (Nesbit, 2001).  \nProgram developers also have learned that keeping students together as a uniquely identified group throughout a program creates a convenient method of scheduling instructor assignments and organizing learning activities (Saltiel & Reynolds, 2001). These cohorts of students are now predominate in educational preparation programs (Barnett & Caffarella, 1992; Milstein, 1992; Reynolds & Hebert, 1998; Yerkes, Basom, Norris, & Barnett, 1995). Current estimates suggest that over 50% of the graduate educational leadership preparation programs in the United States use a cohort delivery model (Barnett, Basom, Yerkes, & Norris, 2000; McCarthy, 1999), often as closed cohorts (Norris & Barnett, 1994; Saltiel & Russo, 2001). Such cohorts are comprised of 15 to 25 students who progress through a program together. Changes inclosed-cohort membership come only through attrition: While students may drop out, new students generally do not join in-progress clo","cbCaict3SwZqXHTZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaict3SwZqXHTZ","pdf",54493,"English","# Abstract\n## Cohorts as management tools\n## Role of the cohort leader\n## Three core responsibilities\n## Program delivery and coherence context\n## Shared responsibility and recommendations","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of a cohort leader in professional education programs?\",\"answer\":\"The cohort leader ensures curriculum integration across the cohort’s full experience, maintains program coherence, and ensures students, faculty, and program partners take appropriate responsibility for learning and shared goals.\"},{\"question\":\"Which three responsibilities does the article use to define the cohort leader’s role?\",\"answer\":\"The article defines three cohort leader responsibilities: curriculum integration, program coherence, and shared responsibility.\"},{\"question\":\"How do cohort structures influence learning and program delivery?\",\"answer\":\"The cohort structure supports curriculum integration, team teaching, and course scheduling, and it can positively affect scholarship, reflective abilities, relationships, professional networks, and persistence in completing the program.\"}]","On Being a Cohort Leader - Curriculum Integration, Program Coherence, and Shared Responsibility | PDF",48]
