Transforming Student Travel calls for a paradigm shift in the student tour industry: educators collaborating to create a student-centered, inquiry-based tour. Marcel Proust said, “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” This resource guide explores ways educators can encourage students not only to see with “new eyes,” but also to understand how they know.
The first part of the book explores different ways of knowing as well as different areas of knowledge that tour guides, tour directors, parents, and teachers can integrate into student travel. The second part of the book has four resource guides for popular cities for student travel: D.C., Philadelphia, Boston, and New York.
