You’ve decided to travel with your students – now what? How can you best prepare yourself, your chaperones, and your students before your trip? Whether you are a veteran program leader or new to travelling with students, these guiding questions will spark inquiry about your curriculum, travel, and other on-program considerations.

As educators, we know the importance of making time to reflect in order to make meaning. When you return from your trip, use these post-trip reflection questions to guide you in thinking about your experience travelling with your students and what you can learn for the future.

The reflection that occurs after travelling is just as important as the experiences students have while travelling. To help your students reflect after your travel program, try these reflection prompts developed by the Curriculum & Academics team. Students can work through these questions in small groups, respond to a few questions in a journal entry, or pick one prompt to respond creatively to. With six thought-provoking question categories, you can even roll a die to randomly assign groups!
