TRAVEL CREDITS. The purpose of travel credit is to allow for the enrichment of a teacher’s experience. The following factors will influence the evaluation of travel credit not under the direction of any college or university:
(a). An application is to be submitted to the Superintendent of Schools at least two weeks prior to the travel. The application will contain the amount of time to be spent, the itinerary and the educational objectives of the trip. The Superintendent will determine the number of credits to be earned for travel.
(b). A written report is to be submitted to the Superintendent upon completion of travel evaluating the travel in terms of its relationship to the classroom, school and/or community.
TRAVEL CREDITS a. In general, a travel for credit must be summer travel, usually under the direction of a qualified agency, such as the National Education Association Travel Service or similar agency of high quality. The Accreditation Board may recommend exceptions to the Superintendent.
b. Travel must be continuous. For example, a member cannot receive credit for two (2) weeks of travel, one (1) of which was spent traveling out to California or Colorado, etc., for summer study and the other on the return journey after summer study.
c. A maximum of six (6) semester hours may be granted for travel in raising the level of preparation to the next higher level. To obtain credit for travel a preliminary travel form must be submitted to the Superintendent and approved before the member begins the trip. Normally, credit will not be granted to a member for a trip to the same or similar part of the country for which credit has been previously granted.

(1) two (2) credits - minimum of four (4) weeks of travel plus outline.

(3) a maximum of six (6) credits - a minimum of four (4) weeks travel, report, plus teaching materials.
e. An outline of the travel experience referred to in d(1) will be a day-by-day itinerary of the actual trip. A report of the travel experience referred to in d(2) will be in the form of a paper (not a scrapbook) including a detailed description of the trip, and an explanation of how the travel experience can be related to the member's classroom work. It is recognized, however, that a reasonable amount of travel should have cultural value for all members and should broaden their points of view. Teaching materials referred to in d (3) would include materials such as:
(1) A slide or film lecture adapted to the member's grade or subject area;
(2) A well-organized exhibit of materials - illustrative of the region visited and adapted to grade or subject area;
(3) Tapes or records which the member has adapted to classroom use.
f. In evaluating the trip, the Accreditation Board will consider the length and the nature of the trip, its relationship to the member's work, and the value of the teaching materials provided. It is essential that if Xxxxxx is to grant credit for travel and continue such credits, members should show later in their teaching that travel has helped them to be better teachers.
