field trips
Field trips are a great way to keep student retention...
Katrina,
Right! And guests usually bring a perspective (experience, stories, unusual or interesting facts) that others cannot.

Field trips are a great way for students to develop professionalism and rapport with people other than their classmates. Also, it enables them to see those skill taught in the classroom are being used currently in their chosen field.
Steve,
Right. And field trips can be very motivational as well. Often students have only a brief idea about the profession they're entering, and a good field trip can add depth to their learning activities.

Feilds trips can give insight to classroom teaching, that will open up the students understanding.
Kelly,
I love the field trip experience. It motivates and teaches students in a unique way that almost no other method can do.
