Field Trips

Field trips are great for students as the trips allow them to experience what they are learning about. Experiencing these things first hand is a chance for them to gain a greater understanding of the content. Despite the financial and logistical issues field trips are worth it. Some of the financial issues can be fixed by talking to the field trip destination about offers on rates. Partnered businesses could also be talked to for some of the funds to help those students who cannot afford to go without financial help. All of the logistical issues must be discussed with all staff, volunteers, and students attending. They must know all procedures implemented for safety as well as all expectations of behavior. The schedule of the trip also must be known so everything can stay on track and everyone get back to school on time. The benefits for the students completely out way the troubles.
