School Field Trip Guidelines for Chaperones
Chaperones play an essential role in creating a positive visitor experience. As a chaperone, your supervision is required to monitor and maintain the good behavior and safety of the students in your group.
Responsibilities of Chaperones
• Please ensure that you and your group of students (10 students or fewer per chaperone) stay together during your time in the museum. This includes the AMA galleries and AMAzing Space.
• It is your responsibility to maintain the good behavior and safety of the students in your group. Encourage students to remember the 3 museum rules, to interact with the group, and, most importantly, to have fun!
• When teachers and chaperones are engaged and active in the tour (listening to the speaker, putting away their cell phones, asking questions, and sitting with the students), students are more inclined to remain engaged.
• Encourage students to participate in the art project and ask questions!
• When in AMAzing space, limit running, and remind students to use inside voices. There are offices nearby where museum staff are working.
• There will be time for a restroom break before and after the field trip, but if the need arises promptly escort your student to the restroom and return to the group.
