Making Educational Field or Road Trips Productive






When an ensemble or classroom goes on a trip or brief outing, the teacher should try to make this an enjoyable educational experience for everyone. It is essential for the instructor to communicate the objective or intention of the trip to his or her students, and to organize the itinerary of the travel schedule. Once the goals and timeline have been established, the students should know what is expected from them and what to expect during the trip. It is, however, especially important to establish rules that provide and reinforce acceptable behavioral guidelines that must be followed. If these parameters are not clearly outlined, an otherwise positive educational experience can prove disastrous and ultimately frustrating for the teacher and students.
