Classroom Displays

Classroom Displays
A classroom display provides a way of focusing on the current unit.  It stimulates learning, provides a
record of learning as well as encouraging students to interact and to respond to learning.
Planning
1. Plan the display around the focus of the unit.
2. Involve students in planning the display.
3. Decide on the format for the display. Some suggestions include: models, diagrams, maps, matrices,
timelines, posters, students’ written texts, graphs, photographs, floor and ceiling displays.
4. Include ways of recording students’ learning as a key feature of the display.
Managing
1. Ensure that the display reflects and maintains the focus of the unit.
2. Ensure that the display is clearly set out and that texts are easily read or viewed.
3. Use questioning techniques to encourage students’ reference to the display.
