Learning Walls should allow students to

Learning Walls should allow students to:

• Make the learning and thinking visible

• Express their own thinking and see the thinking of others,

• Share reasons for their thinking and understand the thinking of others,

• Build arguments and consider the viewpoints of others,

• Express their ideas more effectively,

• Focus on meaning and understanding rather than knowledge,

Learning Walls are organic and grow with the students' inquiry and curiosity.

Store bought displays should be used with extreme caution, and only when they are being used as a provocation.
