Beyond the Trip: Turning Travel into Transformative Learning Opportunities for Your Students

In this episode, I sit down with Stacey Sklar for an engaging conversation about how teachers can create enriching, educational experiences for their students before, during, and after a trip abroad. Stacey shares her expert advice on how to go beyond just being a trip leader and instead, actively design learning opportunities that make the most of each moment. We dive into how teachers can build excitement pre-trip while setting clear educational goals, and explore strategies for making the destination come to life through pre-trip research and activities. Stacey offers fantastic tips on setting expectations, fostering student engagement, and turning everyday experiences during the trip into valuable learning moments.

The fun continues as we talk about ways to keep the learning going once back in the classroom. Stacey shares creative ideas for post-trip reflection and how teachers can help students share their experiences to deepen their understanding. If you're looking to enhance your world travel program and truly maximize the educational potential of your trips, this conversation is packed with practical ideas and inspiration. Teachers will walk away with actionable strategies to make their student travel programs more impactful than ever!
