[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in college now and they had these cohorts when they were at Swanson. The benefit is that the teachers on a given team do collaborate to some degree - your kid won't end up with a math, science, and English test all on the same day - and the teachers can talk when there is a student have issues in one class to see if that's a problem in other classes. The downside is if kids are on different teams than their friends, they won't have any core classes with them. They still have lunch together and could have electives together. At W&L they still do these cohorts for 9th grade (called learning communities, or something - just designated by #). I think it does help a big school feel smaller since they often see the same kids in their classes.[/quote] +1. We used to joke about which animal she would get every year! [/quote]
