Teacher travel tours provide educational and rejuvenating opportunities for teachers. They allow teachers to take a break from their busy schedules while also gaining new knowledge from visiting other places and schools. Specifically, tours to Southern Africa would be appreciated by teachers as it is rich in both natural and cultural attractions, including cities, national parks filled with wildlife like lions and elephants, zoos, and opportunities for marine life documentation. Teachers could experience relaxation while learning about new histories, cultures and education systems on such a tour.
Field trips boost observation skills by engaging children in sensory activities, enhancing and expanding the curriculum, enriching children's knowledge in a particular subject area, and expanding children's awareness of their community.
MICATZ facilitates opportunities for students, groups and gap-year
students. Adventure holidays, wildlife programs, language and
cultural experience programs such as Swahili Language Study Abroad are also
offered.

Describe how diversity and multiculturalism are approached in your educational setting.
The way that my school approaches diversity and multiculturalism is very unique compare to all the schools on our island. We are very open and welcome a lot of foreign students that come from different parts of Asia, such as, Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Philippines, and Taiwan. Throughout the school year, we host a lot of foreign exchange students. We would pair them with our local students and they will be shadowing them in all their classes. Then, towards the end of the day, our students will have a presentation for them on what kind of culture we have here in Guam and in return they would do the same. It is a lot of work for our faculty and staff, however we really see how beneficial it is for the students during these exchange activities. In addition to that, our school has an activity called “International Week” where each class will choose international countries and will have to learn everything about there culture from the way they dress, their history, and what type of food they eat. On top of that, on the last day of the week, they would try to decorate their classrooms as close as they can get to their country and prepare their famous dishes for the judges to try. I really believe that our school is very accepting and by doing these activities helps our students have a better understanding on who they are sitting with in the classroom.
What benefits can you identify in implementing a multicultural approach to curriculum, instruction, and assessment in your setting?
There are a few benefits that I can identify in implementing a multicultural approach in our school. The first thing I can identify is that it really brings unity among our students. But I also will be the first to admit that not all of them are buying into the culture that we are trying to create in our school. But we are very optimistic that one they will be able to understand what we are trying to do for them. By having these foreign exchange students in our school and having a school wide activity helps our local kids understand more about our Asian students here in our school. By understanding them, our local students can make them feel at home and not make them feel left out in the classroom. The second benefit I see happening is that it also gives our teachers an idea as to which style of teaching strategy they can use to help better communicate with our students. It assists our teachers to connect with them and create a level of trust that leads to better communication with each students.

1. Teacher Tours: Travel Tours for Teachers
Teacher Travel Guides
Educational travels are indeed useful and advantageous to anyone who participates in the
trip. You will gain knowledge and experience in educational tours. Educational travels are
indeed positive to participants. Travelers get to visit new place and learn new things in the
process. This is the reason why educational trips are popular among students because these
young individuals can also learn new things other than what educators are teaching them in
school.
Benefits of Travel Tours for Teachers
Speaking of teachers, they too can benefit from travel programs and tours specifically
designed for them.
Traveling abroad is already an advantage because it will provide them a time off from their
busy lives at school.
Teachers are indeed one of the hard working professionals in the society. Their time is spent
mostly in school either looking after school children or preparing for the class. Thus a trip like
this is somewhat a reward for their hard work to make the education system really effective.
Taking a break from test papers, exams, home works, and students will definitely rejuvenate
their tired soul.
Another advantage of travel for teachers is that educators will be able to gain knowledge
from this trip as well. Trips provide opportunity for educators to learn something abroad. The
places are full of wonderful things which make learning more fun and exciting. Since teachers
are all adults, their trips usually happen abroad like countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. In
these countries, our teachers will learn about the local history, culture, food, music, and many
more.
Visit to Other Schools
What's amazing about this trip is that teachers can visit local schools, teachers and students
as well. This is really an amazing opportunity because participants can gain knowledge
regarding the education system applied by that local school. For example, visiting to an
advance schools will teach participants on how to integrate and apply their system on their
own education system once they get back from school. Likewise, traveling teachers can also
impart their knowledge to their host. They can teach them the system they have back at
home to uplift the local's education system.

Travel teacher programs are indeed wonderful for our teachers. The trip will provide time to
relax from their busy schedules. It also provides a chance for our teachers to learn new
things and a chance to share their knowledge to our people as well.
2. Teachers are individuals who help shape the society. Thus, they must be rewarded for their
purpose in the society. One of the rewards we could give teachers is a summer travel
vacation because what they truly need is a trip where they can relax and enjoy their vacation
too. Teachers indeed spend most of their energy looking after pupils, making sure that they
learn. A trip abroad fits the hard work they impart to the system.
A destination that teachers will truly appreciate is a trip to the southern region of Africa. The
southern region of Africa is very rich in both manmade and natural wonders. The cities
provide leisure activities while Africa's wildlife provide great sights to behold.
What to Expect in Southern Africa
Southern Africa has hundreds of renowned attractions. For this reason, a trip to this region
will be surely appreciated by our teachers. South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, and
Zimbabwe make up the southern region of Africa. Each country is filled with amazing tourist
spots and natural attractions. The countries are all beautiful in their own right. Each place is
completely unique therefore the trip to this region will definitely be appreciated by our
teachers.
Attractions to see here include each country's beautiful cities, national parks, zoos, and dive
resorts. Of course, Africa's wildlife is the must place to visit. Its national parks are filled with
different types of animals and most of them can only be seen in this place. Different
mammals can be seen here such as the king of the jungle?the lion, the biggest land mammal
the elephant, and many more. What's amazing in this place is that there is also a night safari
that provides an opportunity for visitors to view the animals hunting at night.
Apart from these land animals, the southern region of Africa is also blessed with rich marine
life. Our teachers can document different species of marine animals during their trip. Without
a doubt, our teachers will be amazed at what they will see in this trip.
