In fact, 89% said educational trips had a positive, lasting impact on their education and career because the trips made them more engaged, intellectually curious and interested in and out of school.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1649699474835-UTOKOJSUDUGXP00NWFXM/unsplash-image-DqgMHzeio7g.jpg Vision - By The Numbers: An average school bus fits 30 students. The cost per student to attend an average field trip is $15. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/0b9d7855-0424-4bd0-ae92-4a54472ae74e/The-Educational-Value-of-Field-Trips-Image-1-768x469.jpeg Vision - Promotes Hands-On Learning Lessons can be presented in different modalities, with instructors not restricted to the confines of textbooks and digital media. The Vanderbilt University Center for Teaching points to the reality that “experience is the best teacher.” Learning outside of the classroom is therefore an active process where students make sense of the world, and must engage using multiple modalities. https://www.metroscholars.org/get-involved daily 0.75 2023-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Get Involved https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Get Involved https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Get Involved https://www.metroscholars.org/donate daily 0.75 2022-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1649699040691-L2H2R6BNJWRN45PTEB73/unsplash-image-v1Ur7A-OkYE.jpg Donate - Did you know? The cost for a single bus on a one-day school excursion amounts to $300. One of the major stumbling blocks to organizing field trips is the expenses involved. Excursions consume a large chunk of the budget if a school is to shoulder the expenses. According to the 2007 Newark Kids Count, one third of all children in Newark live in poverty. There is a need of funds for public school field trips in underserved communities. Exposure to new experiences that broaden horizons can be especially helpful for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds who may not have been exposed to these opportunities. https://www.metroscholars.org/our-team daily 0.75 2023-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487585351-LOBRA494OVLXDP9BG89D/Edgar+Jurado.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487621561-6UYXUXTZB8SE1N8A2AWN/Fredy+Umanzor.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487634556-PZH9YUM9UK1TZA0WZ2JC/Anita_Chantal_Martin_Headshot.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487648983-4EYWGOR3TWF8O5ODWY07/Fraily_Ventura_Headshot.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487690241-CQED8MK9R8BGQT6XEBRA/Albion_Hoxha_Headshot.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487722594-6NBBAJSHJVO8OVWITZ25/Enerd_Pani_Headshot.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487753900-LD02LR4QSQQUMPFDTHYW/Anthony_Raio_Headshot.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487767400-U4O6SGWI25P4GVUES5RT/Babatunde_Odubekun_Headshot.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1648487782623-BC84NGMYXCID90C4GOA4/_DSC4298-Edit-2+copy.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/1652058354634-WDCAYQN702ZXY7HE68BK/Screen+Shot+2019-05-16+at+12.18.15+AM.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/7e9e102e-a338-4c67-938f-c9c2d76029aa/unnamed.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/ac7c59c2-7025-49eb-8d3c-090cbfaa2618/unnamed+%281%29.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6241e6772f1d787ae00ea5b5/2d72f9c0-8eda-4649-a632-d8f070d570dd/123.png Team https://www.metroscholars.org/education-for-teachers daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.metroscholars.org/support-for-communities daily 0.75 2025-06-10
