This is a complete handbook for anyone organising an offsite trip for children aged 5-11. When children can touch and explore their world outside the constraints of the classroom they become more independent and enthusiastic learners. But planning a visit, supervising a group of thirty 8-year-olds and evaluating the benefits of the experience can add to an already heavy workload. "The Educational Visits Coordinator's Handbook" provides comprehensive guidance on planning, implementing and evaluating every stage of a trip outside the classroom. The step-by-step guidance will ensure that organisers are clear about their legal responsibilities and have access to the most up-to-date information, as well as practical pro formas to demonstrate the educational value of the visit. This Handbook: saves coordinators and teachers time and effort by providing editable templates for letters, forms and checklists online; links activities and lesson plans to the Primary National Curriculum; offers ideas for adapting the activities to suit different age groups and needs; and, helps teachers to budget for the trip.
This is an essential resource for all Educational Visit Coordinators or teachers considering taking their class outside the school grounds.
