Reconnaissance Trips
Advantages:
Risk Assessment: Teachers themselves acquire the ability to assess the level of risk associated with outdoor activities offered at a specific destination. This includes identifying hazards, evaluating the likelihood and seriousness of injuries, implementing control measures to reduce risks, determining further actions to be taken in case of injury, and rating the remaining risk level as high, low, or medium.
Accommodation Review: You can review the available accommodation options and choose the most suitable option for your students.
Activity Assessment: In addition to ensuring safety measures and protocols, you can assess the quality and educational value of each curated activity, evaluating the skills and learning outcomes it offers.
Review of Learning Outcomes: Each student expedition is designed with specific learning outcomes tailored to the needs of each school. These trips provide teachers with an opportunity to review the comprehensive benefits offered by our expeditions. It allows teachers to personally experience and understand how they can incorporate experiential learning into their curricula.
