The display board or what we more commonly refer to as bulletin board, is

one of the must 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. Propose 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

Read the following carefully before you observe.

1. Go around the school and examine the board displays. How many board
displays do you see?
2. Where 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?
4. What materials were used in making the displays? Are borders used?
5. Do you notice some errors? (misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies
and the like)
6. Are the messages clear and easily understood?
7. Think about what you got your attention. Why did it get you attention?
8. Take a photos of the display board (if allowed).

Based on the questions on the observation guide, write your

observation report:

Observation REPORT
(You may paste pictures of the Board displays here)
As I go, I see that there are many board displays to be discovered. I
spotted around two to three board displays in several places, including
outside the clinic, the Admin Office, and the Guidance Office. When the
position of these board displays was examined, it was discovered that
they were at an ideal location where students could readily observe them.
Carolina with various designs and boarders are used to make the boards.
I can see they put a lot of work into their bulletin boards since the postings
are legible and there are no typographical problems or language
discrepancies. Furthermore, the school makes use of board displays to
 simply tell pupils on what they need to know. These bulletin boards
facilitated information distribution since pupils are more drawn to what is
placed on the walls. Laying out these boards creatively is also vital for
visually stimulating kids as they acquire important information that these
displays attempt to impart.

From among the board displays that you saw, pick the one that you got
most interested in. Evaluate it using the evaluation form below.

ANALYZE

1. What do you think was the purpose of the board display?

The board's objectives are to keep students informed of new
information or memos, inspire them to work hard, and include them in
class activities or impending projects.

2. Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target
audience? Why? Why not?
I believe the board's general theme reflects the target audience's
interests. nonetheless, the board is not organized systematically. board
displays need to be visually appealing.

3. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Why not?
English is utilized as the language. As labels for the material
submitted, it employs straightforward language. The typeface must be
large enough to read from a distance.

4. Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?

The informative component of the board display is successful. It
effectively communicates the information, but in terms of motivation, it fell
 short of the requirements for a stimulating board presentation. It does not
have the involvement or beauty necessary to draw in a crowd.

5. What suggestions can you make?

To make this board display better, I advise paying close attention to
the design and layout of the contents since these factors are crucial to its
efficacy and the achievement of its goals, which are to enlighten and
inspire the students.
Based on your suggestions, propose an enhanced version of the display
board. Use the form below.

My Proposed Board Display___________________________________

Theme: School past activity and the upcoming events

Board Title: It's time to look on the bright side!

Rationale:
(Purpose)
The goal of my proposed board display is to inform teachers,
students, and visitors about matters related to schools and to provide
them with ideas for something that is unfamiliar to them. I would like to
post an educational side of the board that could portray the "positive side
of the school and the joy in learning."

Objectives:
To provide the information necessary for instructors, students, and
visitors to the school on accomplishments of the institution, forthcoming
events, and an educational aspect of learning

Best features of my proposed bulletin enhancement:

I plan to use colorful materials and a design that will appeal to the
target audiences." If the school can provide a few funds for this proposed
bulletin, I would like to make it more entertaining for all audiences by
putting up some images, cute designs, legible cut out letters, and even
putting up a few crook boards inside that displayed board in order for the
students to share the information they want the people to know.
___________________________________________________________
Content Resources (Name each needed resource and give each a
brief description):
Colorful materials and layout designs, such as cartolina, colored paper,
colored pencil, highlighter, colorful pen, post it notes, and so on. This will
provide a compelling draw for all audiences, and it will be utilized to
underline some information that the audience must read. I'll also need a
glass to shield the displayed board from any unwanted interference.

Materials for aesthetic enhancement:

Because the materials could not be completed alone by myself, I
would want a gift from the school if they could contribute some finances,
particularly for the bulletin board itself, as well as the glass that is required,
as well as paying for its installation on the school grounds. If they couldn't
or simply gave a small amount. I would most likely take the initiative to
request funds from family members or friends, explaining the purpose of
the funds. If there is an excess, it will most likely be set aside as a savings
for future items, especially as I want to alter the content of this board every
three months throughout the school year.

REFLECT

1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come
up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skills is
needed.
 Grammar Skill - A teacher should be proficient in grammar.
The bulletin board will be exhibited to a variety of audiences,
and they must perform admirably in terms of spelling and word
association.
 Creative and Visualization Skills- Creativity should be instilled
in teachers in order to have strong layout designs and provide a
more appealing board to all types of audiences. Furthermore,
s/he should be able to imagine things by balancing all of her
perspectives and applying it in an interesting fashion to her/his
board.
 Organizing Ability- even if the instructor has creative and
visualizing abilities, s/he must organize her/his content in a way
that leads to a more balanced presentation for the audience.
 Communication Ability - A teacher should be well-versed in
communication; however, they must also utilize this talent while
making a board, because presenting things on this board
conveys a message, and this type of act is a form of
communication.
 Minimalistic Ability- We should not spend so much money on
anything expensive. A teacher should understand how to locate
resources on a budget. This is to teach pupils that it is not
necessary to spend excessive amounts of money in order to
attain one's moral goals.

2. Which of the skills you named in #1 do you already have? Recall your
past experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these
skills?

I had no prior experience creating board displays in school.

However, I may consider myself to have these creative and visualizing
abilities. Though I am not an expert, I believe I could pull it off in some
manner to give it a makeover and make it significantly more fascinating
for the pupils.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you
take on how you can improve on or acquire these skills.
 I am not confident in my Grammar and Communication Skills; I
believe I need to improve on this via reading and returning to my
previous classes. The minimalism instinct is another. I am not the
average person who can just extract anything from a site and use it. If I
need to spend money on a project, I'll do everything I can to complete
it without even considering alternatives. In order for me to construct
anything like this, I need to acquire some ideas from the internet and
ask my seniors how to accomplish it.

My Personal Illustration of an Effective

School Environment

The Ideal School Environment

SUCCESS- The final outcome of a perfect educational environment.

Success may be assessed in a variety of ways. Some signs of success

include curriculum, facilities, quality education, service, and high
academic performance. The image above depicts Bataan National
High School from above. It may not create a clear link between the
image and the concept of an effective school environment, but I want
to underline that this school is a fantastic example of a successful
school environment because they have consistently catalyzed
excellent graduates throughout the years. What makes this institution
even more impressive is the success of its graduates in their jobs.
Being an excellent educator is a difficult endeavor. A school must be
able to guarantee that the curriculum meets the needs of the students,
that facilities and resources are available, that qualified instructors are
present, and that students' needs are met. It is a work that will need
the cooperation of the school, instructors, parents, students, and the
community. All of this is proven by the Bataan National High School.
