School Participation:
Classroom teachers should attend KIOSC with their class for excursions. Program previews help strengthen the partnership between classroom teachers and KIOSC by enabling teachers to:
- See the program beforehand, gaining clarity about the learning sequence, concepts and expectations.
- Prepare students more effectively, introducing key ideas or skills that support success during the KIOSC visit.
- Plan meaningful reflection and post‑visit learning, because they understand the full student experience.
