Students do not always see how what they are learning in school is relevant to the real world. It is the teacher’s job to show students how classroom material relates to the real world. This will cause the students to become interested in the material and may even excite them. Students enjoy going outside of the school to learn and do activities, so a teacher should take advantage of this when possible. Bringing in experts can help students realize that what they are learning really does relate to the real world. It is beneficial to encourage students to do internships or take summer enrichment programs.
I think every kid enjoys field trips and the outdoors. It is a break from the institutionalized feeling that a school gives. My high school brought in a lot of guest speakers and everyone seemed to enjoy it when an “expert” would come to the school. I enjoyed going outside even if it was just to work on a project or homework because I have a strong naturalist intelligence. I hate science, but when the teacher took us outside for biology class to teach us I actually learned a lot and loved it!
