The School Environment
OBSERVE
As you move around the campus, observation forms are provided for you
to document your observations. It is advised that you read the entire worksheet
before proceeding to the school site. A good understanding of the activities and
tasks to be accomplished in the activity sheets will yield better learning results.

Solano High School is located at Gen. Luna St., Brgy. Quirino, Solano, Nueva
Vizcaya and it is near the highway. The neighborhood and the community itself
are appealing and I can say that they are one and part of the stable status. I
couldn't say much more about the area or even the closest neighbors since
they all understood what "cooperation" means. When lessons started, the only
audible sound was that of passing automobiles.
As I looked around the campus, I saw that Solano High School is well-kept and
tidy. Every classroom is fairly cozy and conducive to studying, which is a
significant factor in boosting student motivation. The various offices and
rooms made a lasting effect on me.
Because the walls are white and green. The surroundings and ambience are
particularly attractive. Each and every garden is magnificent. The rooms are
clean and odorless.
ANALYZE
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of
the students going to school? What are your conclusions?
In conclusion, the school campus is one of the places where students unravel
what is hidden in them and it is a place where we built camaraderie, where we
started to build and develop our personalities and skills. So, let us work hand in
hand to create a harmonious place and a safe place for our learners and future
achievers.
REFLECT
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why?
Why not?
Definitely yes! Because the Principal, the Assistant Principal, Secretary, Heads,
Instructors and even the Non-teaching staff are all kind because they make us
feel at ease during our Field Study life. And I can say that they are competitive
when it comes to education. In fact, during my observation time I have learned a
lot of strategies on how to handle and transfer the knowledge to my students.
Fortunately, the instructors of Solano High School are innovative, adaptive to the
change of time and responsive to the needs of time which makes me feel that this
was their edge from other schools. So, I would also like to be part of a School
where a healthy environment and soft-hearted people will be part of my teaching
life.
From my perspective and additional learning I can say that starting from the
community, school, parents and the students must work together to provide the
best and healthy learning experiences. Because we are the foundation to
produce competent individuals who will make a better change in the future.
The display board, or what we more commonly refer to as bulletin board, is one
of the most readily available and versatile learning resources.
To achieve the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps:
1. Examine for bulletin board displays. Include samples of those found at the
entrance, lobby, hallways and classrooms 2. Pick one and evaluate the display. 3
Proposed enhancements to make the display more effective.
OBSERVE
As you look around and examine board displays, use the observation guide
and forms provided for you to document your observations.
An Observation Guide for BOARD DISPLAYS
1. Go around the school and examine the board displays. How many board
displays do you see?
2. Where are the display boards found? Are they in places where target
viewers can see them?
3. What are the displays about? What key messages do they convey? What
images and colors do you see? How are the pieces of information and images
arranged?
Board displays are mostly about the different clubs and organizations in the
school and among the students. Each board generally conveys the mission and
vision of a particular club. Different colors awaken each board and images of
different related activities with regards to a club are also incorporated in every
board display. Fortunately, the components of the board displays are well
organized.
4. What materials were used in making the displays? Are borders used?
The creators of each board are very creative and innovative because they
don’t just paste or post certain images but a representation of their clubs,
organization and departments. I can say that they are resourceful because they
used patterned cloth, colored papers, tapes, thumbtacks, tarpaulin, crepe
papers, crumpled pages of old worksheets, ribbons, glossy papers, and
patterned color papers in designing and completing the board displays.
5. Do you notice some errors? (Misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies
and the like)
Absolutely! Even though I, myself, am just a Field Study Student I have easily
understood the things that are posted in different bulletins.
7. Think about what got your attention. Why did it get your attention?
Essentially, what drew my attention was the bulletin board in front of the
principal's office, where every teacher, even non-teaching personnel, had their
own bulletin board. Even the non-teaching staff has the opportunity to be seen
and acknowledged through the usage of a bulletin board. This caught my
attention because it makes me feel and think about how much Solano High
School loves all its working committees.
Observation REPORT
(You may paste pictures of the Board displays here.
Field Study makes me feel the struggles of teachers coming through, but now I
would like to see how powerful teachers are through the bulletin boards of
achievements.
I saw a total of 17 board displays while conducting my environmental
observation around campus, which are located alongside covered catwalks
where students, teachers, staff, and visitors walk by as they enter the campus
and go around buildings. The majority of boards are devoted to the various
student clubs and organizations at the school. Each board typically
communicates the mission and vision of its respective club. Each board is
illuminated by various hues, and images of various club-related activities are
incorporated into each board's display. The components of the board displays
are well-organized.
In addition, I believe that the creators of each board are extremely creative and
innovative because they do not simply copy and paste or post images but
rather represent their clubs, organizations, and departments.
In designing and completing the board displays, they utilized patterned fabric,
colored papers, tapes, thumbtacks, tarpaulin, crepe paper, crumpled pages of
old worksheets, ribbons, glossy papers, and patterned color papers,
demonstrating their resourcefulness.
The bulletin board in front of the principal's office drew my attention, and it
breaks my heart with a smile on my face because each teacher and non-
teaching staff member has their own board. Even the non-teaching staff has
the opportunity to be seen and known through the use of a bulletin board. This
caught my attention because it makes me feel and think about how much
Solano High School values all its working committees.
With the different bulletin boards posted, such as the boards of different
organizations, offices, and the teaching and non-teaching staff of Solano High
School, they must all work together because I can confidently say that we can
achieve our ultimate goals with our hands and by thy hands.
From among the board displays that you saw, pick the one that you got most

ANALYZE
The goal of the board display that drew my notice is, I believe, to inform the
public that there is a counseling and testing office for the whole campus. The
display board also attempts to inform the public about the purpose of various
clubs and offices, as well as provide contact information for the advice and
testing offices.
Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience?
Why? Why not?
Because there are just a few figure designs, I do not believe the board display
design completely represented the interests of its target audience. Although I can
state that such restricted designs are related to the display board's information,
its colors express the peacefulness that the audience may be seeking for,
particularly in subjects such as advice, counseling, and kid unification.
Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand?
Why? Why not?
Absolutely, the language chosen was plain and straightforward enough for the
intended audience to comprehend. The terminology is also acceptable for junior
high pupils.
I would claim that it is typically effective since its objective has been well
explained. And, as a member of the audience, I comprehend what the display
board is about and am captivated by its content and purpose.
