About the Author :
Faye Brenner fulfilled her dream of becoming a tour director after two previous careers in formal and informal education, as a teacher and a summer camp director. She credits the International Baccalaureate program for teaching her how to think and how to teach.

Review :
In 'Transforming Student Travel,' Brenner proposes thought provoking ideas to help educators and leaders plan life-changing educational experiences for students through the wonderful world of travel. The techniques expressed in the book parallel many of the concepts in the International Tour Management Institute training but in a different language. The more diverse ways we learn to communicate and share knowledge through critical thinking and dialog with others, the better we are able to understand other’s perspective and viewpoints of the world. A teacher or tour guide that gets people to question and think about what they see, hear, smell or touch, is truly a master of their art. Helping people see the world through different eyes, is part of the journey to a more peaceful planet. Transforming Student Travel thoughtfully brings together educational theory and practical tips in an easily readable format. Brenner's approach is sure to deepen student learning on any trip. Extremely useful for any tour guide or teacher. If you care about students getting the most out of their travel experience, this book is for you! Faye Brenner’s book on transforming the art of guiding students from merely giving them facts about history, people and monuments will allow them “see with new eyes” the rich heritage that is ours. Whether you are exploring close to home or venturing far away to another country, Ms Brenner’s ideas for the adventure of learning by immersing your experience to truly understand, is a thrilling way to awaken young minds. Her practical advice is easy to incorporate into any curriculum or itinerary. Travel will teach students to think critically about the world around them when Brenner’s techniques are modeled by the teacher and the tour director. Students will return home with far more than photos and souvenirs when the trip includes critical thinking exercises and inquiry based discussions about the sites they visit. Brenner weaves the two worlds of the classroom and student travel experiences together into an exceptional model for meaningful student travel.
