Working with Teachers

Our shadow aims to work inconspicuously and in a collaborative manner with the teacher. The student’s peers need not see the shadow as a “helper” of the student they shadow, but more as a teacher’s assistant. Any help offered would be done in a discreet way that serves to empower and lend dignity to the student. Furthermore studies have shown that peers of the student who is receiving shadowing also benefit from the experience. Peers learn to cooperate and learn values of helping others.
