Field Trip Flip
Use your field trip to ignite what happens next.
About the workshop
Move beyond the one-day visit. Field Trip Flip helps you transform a field trip into the anchor for stronger instruction, richer classroom connections and sustained student curiosity. Instead of treating a visit as a standalone event, you will learn how to use it as the launch point for inquiry, discussion and purposeful learning that continues long after students return to school. Designed for K – 12 educators across all content areas, this workshop shows you how to frame any field trip destination as a catalyst for instruction. You will explore how shared moments can spark questions, ground new concepts and create momentum that carries through an entire unit. Through collaborative planning and guided reflection, you will leave with practical strategies you can apply immediately.
