  • Cohort-based learning is a teaching and learning model that is collaborative, participatory and grounded in practical application to the needs and priorities of each participant. It is made up of three pillars - learning, reflection and action - with opportunity for collective problem solving, peer feedback, and personalised learning throughout each session as well as in a series of ‘learning moments’ throughout the year.
