Key Entities

This domain contains:

  • The Cohort entity, which can be associated with Intervention entities via the StudentInterventionAssociation entity.
  • The StudentCohortAssociation entity, which captures the assignment of students to cohorts.
  • The StaffCohortAssociation entity, which captures the association of staff members to a cohort of students.

Key Concepts

The key concepts include the following:

  • The Student Cohort domain is a general-purpose structure for tracking and reporting on groups of students. A cohort can represent students participating in a program, students whose educational outcomes will be part of an analysis, or simply a list of students fitting a particular criteria of interest.
  • Cohorts may be associated with programs and may have staff associated with the cohort that is providing services, oversight, or sponsorship.
  • The Cohort entity should not be confused with the graduation year cohort, which is defined by enrollment and grade level data.
