Display has long been seen as a tool for learning in primary
schools but this practical and timely book shows its value in whole
school improvement for secondary and post-16. Walking through an
entrance hall speaks volumes about the ethos of a school. The
physical environment supported by display and signs allow visitors
to make a judgement about the school and this judgement, correctly
or not, will be based on what the visitor first sees. In some
schools this first impression exudes positivism - display
celebrates achievement and success, there are images of happy
learners, learning focused signs and statements, and the
environment seems cared for and respected. In others, negative
statements confront visitors, the environment is neglected and
unloved, there are no references to learning in the entrance to the
school.The current educational agenda identifies learner wellbeing
as the key determinant in achievement and outcome. How the learning
environment is designed can have a huge impact on wellbeing. One
particular aspect that has a powerful influence on this environment
is the use of display space. Managed well, it can create a climate
where students feel valued and nurtured, and can achieve beyond
their potential.Display should transcend simple physical
appearance. Successful and meaningful display reflects the ethos of
a school, and an exciting, learning-focused environment makes for
excited learners. An environment that mirrors respect and care
makes learners feel cared for and respected by the place in which
they learn. This positively impacts on how well students learn, how
happy they are as they learn and the respect and care with which
they treat their school; the same applies to staff. The signs used
around schools and the messages that signage and display deliver
are key to a learning-focused climate and they reinforce a school's
ethos. Care for the school environment and classrooms shows care
for the students, and for teachers and other staff. This impression
is quickly passed to parents and visitors to the school.This book
aims to address a gap in the market for secondary school leaders
and teachers (with transferable lessons for primary and 16 - 19
colleges) and provide a toolkit to develop display for learning
with strategies and solutions, within the context of the school
improvement and transformation agenda. The book aims to inspire
colleagues in schools to develop this in their classrooms and on a
whole school level - with the motivation and justification for
doing so.
