Educational Guide for 2017 - 2018 3 Art & Culture in Palm Beach County About this Guide

An Educational Guide to Art and Culture in Palm Beach County is available on the Cultural Council’s website at PalmBeachCulture.com and in a limited print version. The Council asks that you share this information with other educators. The organizations and resources listed in this directory represent members of the Council; most offer free or low-cost opportunities to participate in their programs.

This guide is an excellent resource for private, public, charter and homeschool students, as well as afterschool programs. Please note that many of the organizations listed in this guide offer curriculum-based field trips to their site and are available to visit your school. For specific curriculum benchmarks, contact each organization for more details.

As you review the catalog, locate the arts and cultural organizations that are close to your school or home and that meet your needs. Each organization has a direct link to its website that not only lists school-based field trips, but also includes programs that are of interest to the general public. If you are an educator, the Council encourages you to contact these organizations and form a partnership. This will result in a stronger relationship between education, community, art and culture, and could lead to afterschool possibilities, internships, scholarships or even jobs.

The Council’s website is a useful resource for your classroom. The “Education” tab features resources for educators and online materials, while the “Events” tab lists numerous options for events, rentals, tours and information in individual cities in the county.

For Public Schools: Coordinate your field trip or teacher development day using the School District calendar: LTM – Learning Team Meetings, PDD – Professional Development Day. Also note that many of the listed organizations can host your teacher development days or visit your school during an LTM day.

Educational Guide for 2017 - 2018 4 Art & Culture in Palm Beach County Scheduling a Field Trip: The Process This process is managed by the School District of Palm Beach County

Coordinate your field trip or teacher development day using the School District calendar: LTM – Learning Team Meetings, PDD – Professional Development Day. Also note that many of the listed organizations can host your teacher development days or visit your school during an LTM day.

The organizations that display the School District of Palm Beach County logo represent approved field trips that have met District- required curriculum to receive free busing. Funding is limited.

1. Teacher chooses field trip venue.

2. Teacher contacts venue to schedule field trip date.

3. Teacher then goes to the individual at their school who processes field trip funding (usually the school treasurer) to complete required form, found on the District website (PBSD 1894 Field Trip/Activity Planning Report & Approval Request). Treasurer will then arrange for transportation. NOTE: If the treasurer has questions about funding, approvals, coding information or transportation, he/she should contact Andrea Jones with the District’s Arts Education department (561) 357-7616, as soon as possible.

4. Treasurer should continue checking the TR71 screen for final approval. When approval is received, teacher is notified.

5. Several weeks before field trip, teacher distributes to students the field trip permits found on the District website: PBSD 0755 (English), PBSD 0755CR (Creole) and/or PB0755SP (Spanish). The teacher also includes in the class lesson the necessary vocabulary, information and connections to the benchmarks for the trip to be taken.

6. On the day of the field trip, teacher completes the form PBSD 2149 Field Trip/Activity Roster, and turns that form and the field trip permits in to the school office.

NOTE: One suggestion is to have the school office call Area Transportation the day before the field trip to make sure the buses are scheduled correctly and on time. On the day of the trip, if buses are running late, a call should be made to the field trip venue with the projected arrival times.

Educational Guide for 2017 - 2018 67 Art & Culture in Palm Beach County The Value of Field Trips

For decades, students have piled into buses to visit a variety of cultural institutions: art, natural history and science museums, theaters, performing arts centers, zoos and historical sites. However, due to financial pressures on our schools, field trips are now being offered sporadically and sparingly as rewards rather than enrichment. Some believe that student time is better spent in the classroom preparing for exams. Field trips are on a steady and rapid decline throughout our country.

As educators, we want our students to acquire skills and knowledge inside and outside of the classroom. We want them to develop into adults who appreciate the breadth of human accomplishment. Enriching field trips broaden the educational experience of classroom learning and make curriculum more relevant.

Beyond the Book: Why Field Trips? •• Students who go on field trips have better recall of information due to experiencing it first-hand. Field trips connect the dots of lessons learned in the classroom by providing real experiences related to all content areas.

•• Field trips enrich and expand the curriculum, and strengthen observation skills by immersing children in sensory activities that expand their awareness of their community.

•• Field trips provide access to our cultural heritage as both advantaged and disadvantaged students receive the same “out of school” learning experiences.

•• Field trips affect student values by exposing them to various ideas, peoples, places and time periods. By understanding and appreciating what life was like for people who lived in another time and place, students demonstrate “historical empathy.” By allowing students to express their level of agreement or disagreement with a particular event, movement, art work or musical composition, they learn tolerance and the value of opposing opinions.

•• Field trips create real-world experiences students can apply to events relevant in their life. Whether it is visiting a construction site and then returning to the classroom to design an architectural structure or visiting a college campus and being introduced to the dream of higher education, field trips can bring together seemingly unrelated worlds.

•• One of the most important outcomes of field trips is the cultivation of an interest in art forms and a desire to return to cultural institutions. A lifelong intent to seek out cultural learning experiences definitely enriches lives.
