Learning together: A study of six B.A. completion cohort programs in early care and education

Abstract:

Cohort B.A. completion programs, which target small groups of adults working in early care and education to pursue a course of study together and receive a variety of support services, have emerged in several California counties. To demonstrate the outcomes of these efforts, and to inform further policy and program development, CSCCE has launched Learning Together, a five-year study of six student cohort programs. This report presents findings from Year 1, during which we interviewed over 90 percent of the 124 student cohort members, as well as 13 administrators and faculty members from three of the six institutions of higher education.
