In May 2025, two teachers from our school participated in a job shadowing experience in Maisons-Laffitte, a town just a few kilometres from Paris (France). During this mobility, they were able to see how this school makes a good use of social media and digital tools, as well as its anti-bullying and cyberbullying prevention project, and how they respond to and handle any such cases that arise within the school.
Additionally, they observed a methodology that largely incorporates the use of the English language across different subject areas, and how this helps students significantly improve their English skills.
Although their way of working is different from ours, and we could say has a more traditional approach, they also carry out highly experiential activities. These allowed us to gather various ideas to implement in our own school, beyond the initial objectives we had set.
Here is a diary about the Job Shadowing experience at Ermitage International School.
The teachers who took part in this mobility share their experiences, reflect on its personal impact, and discuss what they hope it will bring to the school.
