Abstract | A person can tell quite a lot about what goes on in a classroom or a school even if he visits after everyone has gone home. Just by looking at the walls--or, more precisely, what is on the walls--it is possible to get a feel for the educational priorities, the attitudes about children, even the assumptions about human nature of the people in charge. A chart that the author created more than a decade ago called "What to Look for in a Classroom" listed some "Good Signs" along with "Possible Reasons to Worry." Among the latter: walls that are mostly bare, giving the building a stark, institutional feel; and posted displays that suggest either focus on control or an emphasis on relative performance. In this article, the author considers a few signs and posters that are generally regarded as innocuous or even inspiring. (Contains 5 notes.) (ERIC). |
