Western trip gives BGSU education majors insight into adolescents

“The classroom is the world outside,” according to Barbara Childers, educational psychology.

Childers put her philosophy into action in May, when she took four education majors on a weeklong “field trip” to Minnesota and South Dakota, where they worked with 48 students of Parkers Prairie, Minn., eighth-grade science teacher Marlene Schoeneck and several geology students from the University of Minnesota, Morris.

The eighth-grade field investigations trip was a collaboration between the BGSU students; Childers; UMM, and Schoeneck, a BGSU alumna and Childers’ high school classmate.

“It was the adventure of a lifetime,” said Childers. “Every future educator should have such an experience.”
