ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that possibilities for creative display and how 'display for learning' might be developed through case study examples to help frame the debate. Sometimes, in some schools, it can feel like the preparing teachers for an interior design course. The classroom environment is an exciting and creative space where learning takes place. Almeda, in research from the United States, tried to find clusters in design decisions in classroom visual displays. In contrast, the relatively visually sparse classrooms were largely from private schools which suggested that 'private school teachers in this region may consider visual displays distracting'. Display is described as 'Preparing, setting up and taking down classroom displays in accordance with decisions taken by teachers'. Finally, as Maxwell and Chmielewski found, there is a clear causal relationship between certain types of visual displays and increased self-esteem in young children.
