What a great idea for a teacher to a walk a day in one of their student's shoes. The amount of information attained in one day following a single student could surpass a year of observation in your own classroom. Taking notes and following the entire day of a student can give an educator an entirely different perspective of the challenges that their students endure everyday. Setting aside the information that is imparted onto them the physicality of the students day should be overlook.
The educator by performing this excercise went through a learning process about different aspects of the students learning process that could bee changed to enhance the students experience and attention. The teacher following the student spent 303 minutes sitting in a single day. Changing his own classroom to add more activity where the students could move around was he response to something he hadn't recognized until he carried out this exercise. This a perfect example of understanding who you are teaching and where they are coming from in order to be effective in teaching them. Good Job!http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/
