Grouping Cohorts
Group participants into cohorts based on how you would like to organize reporting of participant progress in your implementation.
If your implementation includes participants you would like to assign to a pathway, those participants must be in a pathway cohort.
Each cohort has its own Overview page in Aspire, with reports for tracking the group as a unit.
Each Cohort Overview page has its own Progress Report for tracking the members of that cohort, viewing their progress, or downloading their progress data as a spreadsheet.
Common ways to group participants include:
Participants with the same unit professional learning schedule. Use the Progress Report to view who is ready for the next training and who is not.
Participants who teach the same grade level.
Participants who have the same role (e.g., reading interventionists).
Participants from the same school or the same set of schools.
Participants you would like to be in the same pathway.
A participant can be in multiple cohorts or no cohort, though a participant can only be in one pathway cohort. Cohorts can have participants from different license sets.
