Transforming Student Travel
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-2069-0 (ISBN)
The International Baccalaureate informs the first part of the book which includes educational research as well as practical suggestions for improving the tour experience, including an integration of academic subjects. Although much has been written about the impact of international travel, this book explores ways educators can transform domestic tours for public and parochial school students.
The second part of the book offers resource guides for four cities – Washington, D.C.; New York; Philadelphia; and Boston. Teachers, tour directors, and tour operators, will find discussion questions activities as well as detailed background information for four of the most visited cities by students. Many of the questions and strategies can be adapted for other landscapes.
Faye Brenner fulfilled her dream of becoming a tour director after two previous careers in formal and informal education, as a teacher and a summer camp director. She credits the International Baccalaureate program for teaching her how to think and how to teach.
