In this episode of the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast, Angela shares how curriculum-aligned international trips with EF Explore America transformed her students: a forensics lab in Great Britain where they did real DNA fingerprinting, and a Belize Ridge-to-Reef conservation expedition with a midnight bat workshop. She tells the story of a student who barely spoke in three years coming home changed, and a Belize traveler now headed back to work at the conservation NGO he visited on the trip. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why curriculum-aligned travel makes lessons \"stick\" long after the trip ends - How travel transforms your relationships with students — and the culture of your whole classroom - The two things to nail before your first trip: a diverse chaperone team and clear student expectations - How to make international travel doable on a teacher's schedule by partnering with a tour company - Why the learning ripples out even to the students who stayed home Read the full show notes and resources at https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e942 Sponsor.
