According to research….
• Only 4% of ELs’ school day is spent engaging in student talk.
• Only 2% of ELs’ day is spent discussing lesson content & academic vocabulary.
• Edwards and Mercer (1987) documented that teachers perform 76% of classroom talk.
(Arreaga-Mayer & Perdomo-Rivera, 1996)10

Soto (2012) defines ELL Shadowing as a “professional development design that involves a single teacher observing a single English learner during the course of a school day” (p. 5).

Selection of StudentsRandom Sampling Selection:• A method of selecting a sample (random
sample) from a statistical population in such a way that every possible sample that could be selected has a predetermined probability of being selected.
• More than any other system, random sampling gives you an exact portrait of the people at large. 13
