IDENTIFIERS
ABSTRACT
Many of the factors that can help ensure a successful
and positive learning experience for teachers, leaders, chaperons,
and students who travel and/or study in France are addressed in this
publication. Although it is geared toward France, many of the ideas,
especially the section on pre-departure orientation, can be applied
to any travel group. The primary objectives of the booklet are to
help teachers develop confidence in taking students abroad, to
promote the "know before you go" mentality, and to provide an
information resource. Among the nearly 100 topics covered are the
following: itinerary, airport check-in, menus, post office,
insurance, Immunizations, drugs, transportation, passports, m!ney,
parent role, returning home, group leaders, museums, shopping, and
various aspects of visits to Paris.
