Peer Cohorting

To encourage collaboration, mutual support, and accountability by creating small student working groups.

Students develop the self-management, self-discipline and emotional regulation skills to succeed in AP coursework and on the AP exam.

• Establish cohorts at the beginning of the school year or semester.
• Be intentional about groupings – these can be based on student interests, strengths, skill sets or areas of growth.
• Allow students time to get to know each other, build relationships and develop trust within their groups.
• Help students establish group norms.
• Utilizing the Group Roles & Responsibilities protocol linked below may be helpful in the forming of groups.
