Why are learning-focused displays important?

Here is what one very helpful programmed for schools- the Looking for Learning Toolkit -says about learning-focused displays:

Displays are important for four main reason:

1. For our students, displays are a visible recognition of their learning.

2. For our wider school community, displays both inside and outside classrooms send a powerful message about your school culture and the value it places on learning. A learning-focused display says: "We are so interested in your learning and we prize it so much that we want everyone to see what you are achieving".

3. Time spent on displays should be time well spent and time that contributes to learning.

4. A learning-focused display can drive the learning on within a class or across the school. Learning-focused displays can provide new and different ways of challenging the children.
