School Visits - We do the Meeting
After registering as a leader, you can request a school visit. This is an opportunity to have an Earth Explore staff member and program expert visit your school to conduct a complete and enjoyable presentation on the trip of your choice for your interested students and parents. More about that here.
The Next Step
Following registration, our staff will assist you every step of the way. We provide an extensive Leader Outreach Kit which includes brochures, handouts, classroom posters, DVDs, PowerPoint presentations, and other materials that make forming your own group stress free. We also provide complete and ready to use pre-departure materials, as well as all guiding, educational and financial services for your group. You relax and enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Earth Explore is about connecting young people to Planet Earth through experiential discovery. We call it the Earth Explore experience. We encourage students to probe, ask questions, and learn things for themselves. Parents find the benefits of participation touch many parts of their students' lives. As a teacher, your leadership will not only benefit your students, but you will bring new energy and teaching techniques back to your school.
