Explanation:
2.First Steps
Survey your students to determine the level of interest in a trip.
Consider your total count of students and adults. Motorcoaches typically seat 55 or 57 passengers. Remember to save one seat for your tour manager or local guide.
Discuss the trip with your administrator for date options and approval procedures. Do this early to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Contact Julian Tours with your choice of dates. At this time, we can reserve your package and furnish you with a contract and informative flyers.
Distribute the flyers as provided by Julian Tours along with your permission slips. You can also include an introductory letter and medical form. Students should take these materials home to parents.
Determine your chaperone needs. For overnight trips, remember to bring both male and female chaperones.
Please communicate the objectives of your tour to the staff at Julian Tours so that we can meet your objectives during the planning and operation of your tour.
Create a file for each field trip. Use the materials provided by Julian Tours to stay organized, helping to ensure a positive pre-trip experience.
Preparing the Students
Refer to your field trip frequently in your classroom so that students will become more familiar with the destination and your objectives for the tour.
Inform your students that the same rules of courtesy and behavior that apply in school apply on the tour. Adults may remind students of proper behavior so that social and educational objectives of the tour are met.
Inform students that they should dress appropriately as well as be prepared for inclement weather.
It is important for students — and adults — to be on time for all activities. If your group requires more time for an activity than your itinerary indicates, consult with your tour manager or guide to see if the time can be extended.
Suggested Preparations:
Appropriate teachers and school personnel should participate in the tour.
Chaperones should be assigned at a 1:10 ratio to students. There should be both male and female chaperones available throughout the tour.
Groups should have immediate contacts back at school. There should be at least one person who will be on call for any questions or necessary directives, while the trip is in progress.
Students should be broken down into chaperone groups so that the students know who their chaperones are. This helps in taking roll and having accountability.
Each student should have a buddy or be in a sub-group, and no one should go anywhere alone.
Students and chaperones should have an up-dated itinerary with them at all times.
Tour participants should have appropriate emergency numbers.
It is suggested that all teachers carry their cell phones along on the tour. Walkie talkies may also provide an extra means of communication.
A telephone tree should be put in place for teachers to contact parents in case notification is deemed necessary.
It is always a good idea to take snacks and water on long tours in case there is a need for them.
You will need to take any medications (and directions for taking the medications) for students who are on tours. It is a good idea always to ask for more medication than necessary in case of a delay in a tour.
Teachers should always take an emergency first aid kit. Motorcoaches usually have first aid kits aboard.
It is a good idea to take the emergency phone numbers of all parents or guardians of those students traveling on field trips.
It may be appropriate to carry a photo copy of student medical I.D. cards.
In the event of a national emergency, the safety and security of group members are our common objective. No provision can substitute for on-site leadership that emphasizes these objectives. Once communication is established between the sponsor/school community and Julian Tours, any further procedures or alterations to the trip will be determined at that time.
