This course equips educators with the knowledge and tools to design impactful student travel experiences rooted in Eric Jensen’s principles of brain-based learning. Participants will explore how the brain learns best—through engagement, emotion, novelty, and real-world context—and apply these insights to plan educational trips that deepen understanding and retention.
Teachers will learn how to transform travel from a passive experience into an active, cognitively rich learning journey. The course emphasizes strategies such as pre-trip priming, multisensory engagement during travel, and reflective practices that strengthen memory and meaning-making. Educators will also examine how movement, social interaction, and environment influence student learning and behavior in travel settings.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to design student travel experiences that align with academic goals while maximizing student engagement, motivation, and long-term retention. The course is ideal for teachers, trip leaders, and school administrators seeking to create purposeful, brain-friendly travel programs.
