Bulletin Boards That Make Learning Visible

Bulletin boards that make learning visible focus on what was learned as well as what was done. They reveal the learning process as well as product, and balance content learning with learning about learning.  

In the slideshow below you will see examples from one school that endeavored to make more learning visible through their bulletin boards along with reflections from teachers, administrators and a visitor to the school.

At the bottom you will find resources to help you tell stories of learning in your own school.
