Informal Learning and Field Trips: Engaging Students in Standards-based Experiences Across the K?5 Curriculum
Leah M. Melber
Turn every field trip into a high-quality learning experience!
What youngster isn't excited at the prospect of taking a field trip? Enthusiastic students present teachers with the ideal scenario for creating meaningful out-of-the-classroom encounters and giving students the building blocks to help them become active participants in their own educational process.
This resource helps educators take full advantage of off-site educational opportunities by developing lessons that connect informal learning with content standards. Based on constructivist philosophy and inquiry-based learning, the book provides numerous sample lesson plans and technology tips, and includes:
? Learner-centered activities for language arts, math, science, social studies, and fine art
? Ways to support English Language Learners and special education students
? Guidelines for developing corresponding classroom activities
? Strategies for building partnerships with informal learning sites
? Methods for bringing museum-type activities into the classroom when a trip is not possible
Field trips turn the whole world into a classroom. Informal Learning and Field Trips helps enrich students' lives as they explore the world outside the school grounds and gives teachers a prime opportunity to revitalize the learning experience.
