Getting Appropriate Classroom
Displays
It
can be tough getting displays ready for the term. Inasmuch as you want to have
a beautiful class, be sure that the displays you put up are meaningful and
appropriate for the pupils in the class. To this end, you should encourage your
students to look and learn from them so that the purpose of putting them up can
be achieved. Look at the points below to guide you when thinking of displays.
1.
School’s basic requirement. Every school has basic requirements and you
should be aware of them. If you are unsure, ask your supervisor.
2.
Subject based- What new things will pupils learn in your
class this term? Are there going to be some difficult/tricky topics? Get
displays for these topics to help children learn easier and have access to
continuous learning/ reference.
3.
School theme for the term. It is important to set up displays with the
school theme in mind, this will help you drive the message more easily in your
classroom.
4.
Class goals – What do you want to achieve with your pupils? Convert your
goals into displays so that your students are constantly reminded. Get relevant
quotes, instruction charts, etc.
5.
What should your students know? There are many things you want your pupils
to know by the end of the term, one sure way of getting that through is putting
them up as display. E.g. word registers, writing skills, good manners, etc.
