In Yasir's Shoes: A Principal Gains Insight by Shadowing an English Language Learner Student
Farris, Shari
Journal of Staff Development, v32 n5 p20-23, 37 Oct 2011
The author had worked with teachers in the school on intervention efforts such as tutoring and detention for disruptive behavior. Having read about shadowing students as a way to gain insight into their school experiences, she decided to immerse herself in a student's routines, interactions, and relationships throughout a school day. By shadowing an immigrant student, the author learns how to engage, motivate, and sustain ELL students to academic success.
