Same-faculty cohort pairing of college-level and corequisite courses

Evidence · no claims cited

Description

All six implementing institutions delivered the paired courses as a cohort, with one instructor teaching both the college-level and the developmental-level course to the same group of students. Faculty reported that this continuity supported student comfort, consistent social support, and continuity of pedagogical approaches, and let them make ongoing adjustments to content and timeline. As the report prints it, "All institutions used a cohort model for course delivery, with the same faculty member teaching each of the paired courses (college-level and developmental-level) to the same group of students." Faculty at the two multi-section institutions also met weekly and visited one another's classrooms to improve strategies during the term.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • The same faculty member teaches both paired courses to the same group of students

Constraints

  • The report states that since no other strategies were attempted, the effect of using the cohort strategy versus other strategies needs further investigation

Target Learners

  • Developmental math students in corequisite course pairs at community colleges and four-year institutions

Learning Goals

  • Persistence and success in college-level quantitative reasoning or statistics
