one that has consistent practices that:

from distraction

activities

needs of the students

communicating information about the learning
environment. They help in building and
establishing the school culture. These boards
become one way for everyone to learn about
the vision-mission, goals, and values that the
school upholds.

environment, display boards have four
general purposes:
