Discovery Education has a history of bringing the world to your classroom. Now we invite you to bring your classroom to the world. Regardless of how you choose to participate, Discovery Student Adventures offers a range of benefits for the educator community:
- Travel free when you lead a trip with five students or more
- Curriculum and related video content for your classroom
- Earn continuing education units
- Hands-on, immersive learning for you and your students
- Watch your students be inspired and empowered by experiential learning
2. Lead a travel group – Volunteer to lead an already established group of students
Since most teachers enroll their own groups, there are limited spaces for teachers that wish to be assigned a group. Once you apply, you will be placed on a waiting list. As the need for a Travel Leader arises, you will be contacted, and your trip destination and dates will be assigned to you. Please note that the best way to ensure your travel this year is to enroll your own group of students.
All teachers who travel on a program are held to the same standards and requirements, regardless of whether the teacher enrolled his or her own group of students or is assigned a group of students.
For teachers that are assigned a group, there are two additional requirements in addition to those already listed in the requirements and expectations area. These two additional requirements are:
- Contact each student/family to introduce yourself
- Facilitate online introduction of students
3. Become part of our online community
Even if you are not ready to take a trip, we invite you to interact with a variety of videos and lessons plans related to each destination – available for you to bring into your classroom. In addition, become a part of a community that enables you to network with other educators taking these trips to find out the benefits for your future travel.
- Access videos and lesson plans to share in your class related to each destination
- Participate in online forums (coming soon)
- Interact with other teachers and students as they travel (coming soon)
