If you’re a teacher, you know field trips are both fun and exhausting. They take a lot of planning, organization, and schedule problem-solving. Each field trip is different, but here are some ways you can set your field trip up for success:

- [ ] Staff bags-making sure staff have a way to carry any items they might need during the field trip. Portable device chargers, hands wipes/sanitizer, and some extra snacks are always helpful.
- [ ] Social stories and choice boards-Creating simple social stories, using pictures of the destination, is a great a way to prepare students for what they might see/do during the trip.
- [ ] Schedules-clear schedules for staff and kids! Create field trip icons that can be placed on student schedules and talk about how it makes the day a little different. Prepare students (and staff) for what the day will look like when you return.
