Educational Studies

The Cohort Model

The Education Department follows a cohort model. Students who have identified themselves as wanting to pursue a teaching career will form a cohort their freshman year and continue on together through their college years.

Transfer students or those who decide they want to be teachers after their freshman year may enter into a cohort group appropriate to their academic standing upon the recommendation of the education faculty.

Winter Term Experiences

During their sophomore and junior years, students will enroll in Winter Term Experiences in K-12 schools.

Portfolio Assessment

Throughout their Educational Studies Program, students will maintain a portfolio which will be used to assess their progress. There will be three times when portfolios will be formally assessed and students will be evaluated to see whether they should continue in the Educational Studies Program: at the end of the sophomore Winter Term Experience, at the end of their four years of study prior to beginning the internship, and at the end of the internship.
