Some teachers seem to have an unending supply of inspired ideas for classroom bulletin boards. Others struggle for ideas. Some teachers turn over to students the responsibility for creating classroom bulletin boards. Other teachers use the same bulletin boards all year long.
Some teachers integrate bulletin boards into teaching themes.
Others don't know where to begin. Students need to have something to look at besides bare walls. Bulletin boards teach, inform, inspire, and add a feeling of hominess to the classroom. Steele, a teacher at Abe Hubert Middle School in Garden City, Kansas, created one of the best online bulletin board resources for educators, Ideas for Bulletin Boards . That resource is part of Steele's Kim's Korner for Teacher Talk Web site.
