Lesson 3
ASSISTING IN PREPARING BULLETIN BOARD AND LEARNING STATION DISPLAYS

Introduction

Bulletin board displays are creative ways to share information, enhance learning or feature
students' work, and foster community spirit. They are visually stimulating and pleasing displays
that quickly became a central focal point of any classroom or office. With a little creativity and
ingenuity, teachers and businesses can maximize the effectiveness of the bulletin boards they
display. Their value is immense, but in order to be their most effective, those making bulletin
boards must ensure that they are well-organized, visually stimulating and engaging, and easily
accessible. Bulletin boards should maximize the space where they are established and be located in
high-traffic areas where viewers will see them. Many choose to affix bulletin boards to classroom
and office walls, as these make the best use of available space and ensure that students or office
workers may easily view the displays. Students and office workers should have easy access to
viewing and interacting with bulletin boards as applicable.

Another way of assisting your CT is using your own creativity in making effective, attractive,
and powerful bulletin board and learning station displays. Listen to your CT’s instruction on how
you can assist him/her make bulletin board displays and structure learning stations. Remember the
various uses and importance of bulletin board displays and learning stations as you assist your CT.

Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Identify appropriate instructional materials for bulletin board and learning station according to
purpose;
2. Determine the guidelines in structuring bulletin board and learning stations;
3. Making lay-out of bulletin board and learning stations;
4. Create instructional displays.

Try this!
ACTIVITY: Do this.
A. Inquire from your Cooperating Teacher on the kind of bulletin board displays and learning
stations he/she finds appropriate in the classroom. Then, design tentative bulletin board displays
and learning stations.

List down the materials you will be needing in structuring the proposed bulletin board and
learning stations.

Other than bulletin board displays and learning stations, your CT also needs your assistance
in enhancing the classroom environment. Assist your CT in structuring learning spaces in the
classroom that allow learners easy access in an interesting and productive manner to a variety of
learning materials.
Assist your CT in structuring any of the following:
 Mini Library
 Science Corner

B. Work with your CT as regards to appropriateness of the materials you intend to use. List down
the purpose of the displays that you will be assisting your CT to work for.

ABSTRACTION:

SIMPLE GUIDELINES IN CREATING BULLETIN BOARD DISPLAYS

PUT IT AT EYE LEVEL

A bulletin board does students no good if they cannot reach it. When planning such a
board, make sure that it is at their eye level and easily accessible for young hands. Since
most bulletin board frames are at an adult’s eye level, you may need to paper the area
below the normal bulletin board section to make it work.

ADD COLOR
Visual interest is the key to keeping children engaged in interactive bulletin boards.
Plain, boring boards with little color or visual appeal will not hold students’ interest.  
Even if the topic being covered is interesting, students will quickly become bored and
uninterested. Take the time to add coordinated colors and visual appeal to your bulletin
board presentation.

MAKE IT DURABLE
If students will be manipulating items on the bulletin board itself (i.e. – matching
pictures of their classmates to hobbies they enjoy), make sure that the material you use
is sturdy enough to withstand a lot of handling. Laminate materials that students will
be touching and use the strongest Velcro or adhesive that you have available. By
creating the bulletin board with sturdy materials at the beginning, you will save
yourself time having to repair it over the course of the its’ display.

PROVIDE CLEAR DIRECTIONS

Bulletin boards should have clear, concise directions that are easy for your students to
read and understand. If some of your students need extra help with reading, consider
recording the directions and allowing students to play them back as needed. Ideally, an
interactive bulletin board will be an independent work station for students, so take
their ability levels into consideration when planning activities and interaction
requirements.
