  Case: Field trips
Our kids in our school have limited life experiences but we don't have funding to take field trips. How can we bring the world to them?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Sometimes depending on what state and county your in they have something called the Great American Teach-In (or GATI). It's where different people come from different jobs and talk to the students. Depending on the type of school (elementary or middle) they may see 4 or 5 different people during the day. The students actually go to the people throughout the school, so they can burn off energy as they walk. They may see a service dog and their trainer, or a story teller, or even the cafeteria managers, to see how and where the food is prepped. It's great because they can ask the people anything regarding their jobs and usually the people bring in artifacts about their jobs to show the students.
