Your cohort is your community – your home – for the week of The CI Summit. When you register for the conference, you will make your cohort selection based on what you feel is your level of understanding and expertise in acquisition-driven instruction (ADI). The cohort teams will prepare for you a week’s worth of training, collaboration, and coaching to fit the descriptions of those cohorts. The content will be personalized to your level, but not necessarily individualized to you and your distinct needs.
