  • Refrain from swearing or using any form of vulgarity
  • Foster a safe and comfortable learning environment for people of all backgrounds
  • Do not use your smartphone unless it is work-related
  • Maintain a clean, organized working environment
Observation-Only Sessions

During observation-only session, you are expected to:

  • Still devote an appropriate amount of time to your shadower
  • Answer questions when they arise
  • Reasonably provide as much explanation as possible
Interactive Sessions

During interactive session, you are expected to:

  • Provide hands-on training
  • Let your shadower operate or use your tools or equipment in some form
  • Work alongside you to create, alter or enhance a work-related or personal project

While not required, some shadowers may expect you to provide some sort of additional educational resources, which can be found in the Providing Resources section.
