# ROOT_ V1 Instructor-Led Pilot Plan
|
|
|
|
Phase 6F Step 19. Realistic delivery packaging from the ACTUAL curriculum duration
|
|
(`docs/ROOT_PROGRAM_DURATION_MODEL.md`) — not a business/pricing decision, an
|
|
operational/academic one.
|
|
|
|
## The three natural cohort groupings
|
|
|
|
The real prerequisite chain (`docs/ROOT_V1_PREREQUISITE_MAP.md`) already divides ROOT_ V1 into
|
|
three coherent stretches, each a legitimate standalone cohort length:
|
|
|
|
| Cohort | Courses | Duration | Suggested cadence |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| **Foundations** | ROOT 01-04 | 1,497 min ≈ 25.0 hrs | 8-10 weeks at 2.5-3 hrs/week, or a 1-week intensive |
|
|
| **Kubernetes Core** | ROOT 05-07, 10 | 1,338 min ≈ 22.3 hrs | 7-9 weeks, requires Foundations complete |
|
|
| **Operate & Secure** | ROOT 09, 12, Capstone | 980 min ≈ 16.3 hrs | 5-6 weeks, requires Kubernetes Core complete |
|
|
|
|
**Full ROOT_ V1 pathway**: all three back to back, 64.2 hours total, realistically a
|
|
20-24 week (one semester-plus) commitment at a sustainable 3 hrs/week pace — not a single
|
|
short cohort. This mirrors how the content itself is sequenced (ROOT_PROGRAM_ARCHITECTURE.md's
|
|
own course graph), not an arbitrary split.
|
|
|
|
## Weekend/intensive packaging
|
|
|
|
Any single cohort above also works compressed into a multi-day intensive (e.g. Foundations as a
|
|
5-day, 5-hr/day intensive) — the content and Labs are identical; only pacing changes. This is
|
|
exactly the reasoning behind `docs/WINTER_BREAK_CAMP_CURRICULUM_OPTIONS.md`'s Option A, which is
|
|
the Foundations cohort's first half (ROOT 01-02) sized for a single week.
|
|
|
|
## What doesn't change between formats
|
|
|
|
Server-enforced prerequisites, Lab lifecycle, assessment integrity, and instructor tooling
|
|
(`docs/ROOT_V1_INSTRUCTOR_GUIDE.md`) are identical regardless of cadence — a cohort meeting
|
|
weekly for 9 weeks and one meeting daily for 5 days use the exact same platform mechanics.
|
|
|
|
## What this document deliberately does not decide
|
|
|
|
Price, enrollment minimums/maximums, marketing, and specific calendar dates — packaging
|
|
decisions belong to the people running a specific cohort, informed by real demand, not
|
|
prescribed here.
