This course emphasizes visiting community resources and natural and historically significant locations that bring the classroom to life. Participants will tour educational sites that have genuine implications for student achievement and social understanding. These tours will have application to all study skills, portfolios and content across the curriculum. Rich resources for language arts, social science, multicultural studies, art and math will be encountered. Participants will evaluate in depth the implications of the tour for their grade level and cross section of ability levels before and after taking a tour. This course provides a wonderful opportunity to enrich the classroom experience of all students and motivate them to read and write about the things they observe.
