Common Sense
The Sick Lion K-6
GE Practice--Practice #10: Learners’ work is displayed in some form. Positive and timely feedback is provided through oral and/or written commentary.
In taking on responsibility for displays, students have an opportunity to learn and practice important social and academic skills. When children choose work for displays, they learn to reflect on their work. By creating displays that recognize effort rather than perfection, children better understand that learning is a process of growth, not just a process of mastery. Creating displays can also affirm children’s growing sense of competency and give them practice in individual and group decision making. It provides an opportunity to learn from each other and to appreciate the work of others, nurturing empathy, respect, and a strong sense of classroom community.
