During the school day in America, the field trip is an endangered species. With pressure for higher standardized test scores increasing and state funding decreasing, many schools have eliminated off-campus learning opportunities. This situation is particularly acute at the high-school level, where scheduling hurdles make it more difficult to take students out for a morning or a day, even for a worthy event or trip. While research shows that properly structured field trips can be valuable for students-and particularly valuable for low-income or minority students who might not visit cultural institutions with their families-many administrators do not see their value. 1 Many principals and district leaders value time "on task" in the classroom as the ideal use of student time. They consider trips a frill, given the financial cost and the loss of instructional time, even though research suggests that field trips have value for students, especially those with a personal or cultural connection to the out-of-school expenences. In 2014, the Eastern Michigan University Bright Futures program received a grant from the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation African American Fund to take students in a high school with a majority of low-income and minority students on a series of trips on the theme of African American history and culture. While students in Michigan are taught about many topics in African American history through the school curriculum, the field trip experience gave students an extra level of understanding that could not be accessed through classroom instruction alone.
