Pointers for Planning a School Field Trip

Article Category: Education

Author Name: Joy Glick

Along with the arrival of spring, March through June signals the start of field trip season for many schools. After being cooped-up in the classroom during the cold, wet dreary winter months, teachers are anxious to get students out into the real world learning and exploring.

LOCATION
Letting students run free at a museum could very well produce discipline issues and frustration for all the adults involved. It's important to choose a location that supports concepts and skills you recently covered within the four walls of the classroom. Establish key learning objectives before arriving so you and your students understand the purpose for your visit.

You might design a scavenger hunt for students to find several important pieces within the museum. Choose a location that is age-appropriate. Graders will get more out of hands-on activities than a sit down lecture while high school students are mature enough to handle more in-depth explorations.

BUDGET
It's extremely important to think about the amount of money is available for the trip. Most school districts are on a tight budget, some even forgoing field trips entirely. Calculate the cost of transportation, admission, food or other miscellaneous expenses before announcing the trip to your administrator, families and students. Consider whether you will have to ask students to bring in a money to attend.

PERMISSION SLIPS
Check your school or organization's policy on taking minor children off of school grounds. You'll likely need to obtain permission slips from parents. On field trip day, remember to bring a file containing student information records and emergency contacts so you have all the necessary information in case of an emergency.

SCHEDULE
Create a schedule that accounts for every minute of your day. Even if you allow flexibility in the schedule, you will have it to draw on as necessary. Remember to take into account travel time to and from the destination, and snack and bathroom breaks. Make sure you double check the hours of operation of the place you are visiting.

ORGANIZATION
The only way to effectively manage a large group of students on an outing is to assign them to small groups. Form groups depending on the age of the students, the younger the children the smaller the group.

RULES
On or before the morning of the field trip, sit your students down for a clear explanation of rules and expectations at your destination. Young students especially tend to forget about rules the moment they step off school grounds. Make behavioral expectations clear.

FOOD
There's a likelihood you'll be eating a meal or at least a snack during the field trip. Plan ahead if the students will need bring their own sack lunch/snack, if the destination will provide it or if they will need money for food. Whatever the case, ensure every student has what they need before leaving the school building.

WEATHER
Will students need rain gear? Perhaps the trip, or part of it, will be rescheduled or changed if the weather is inclement.

A proactive approach is best in creating a successful field trip. Think through every aspect of the day so as to create a fun day for everyone involved.
