KEYS to Teaching Success: Make Learning Relevant - Examples

     In this section, we provide a variety of ideas to promote the exploration of physical and digital spaces in Georgia to make learning relevant. 

     As discussed in Standard 1: Making Learning Relevant, field trips and project-based or place-based learning can be used to enhance instruction and support students in making connections to content-related applications. As teachers, it is important for us to offer authentic learning experiences. By incorporating both physical and virtual field trips into the curriculum, students can engage with subject matter in a dynamic and interactive manner. This engagement can help students make a more profound connection to the content while also encouraging critical thinking and observational skills as students interact with exhibits and real-world environments. Additionally, integrating field trips into the curriculum can provide opportunities for students to collaborate, communicate, and develop a sense of community. By leveraging Georgia’s museums and historic sites, we can create enriching learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom.
