Industry Tours for Students Guide: A FLATE Best Practices Guide

This best practices guide from FLATE, the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center of Excellence, offers guidance to ATE educators "interested in taking a group of students on a field trip to a local hi-tech industrial facility." The 20 page guide outlines the entire experience, from planning to follow-up, including resources on coordinating and preparing for the tour, safety information and hosting tips for the field trip itself, and curriculum to maximize the impact of the tour both before and after the trip. Multiple appendices provide helpful templates and example documents such as a checklist, sample letter, lesson plans, and survey for educators to use over the planning and follow-up process.
