How to Frame a Student's Work to Be Displayed on a Bulletin Board

Instill a sense of pride and accomplishment in your students by showcasing their work on a bulletin board. When students see their work on display, they gain a sense of the importance of their work, increasing their self esteem and desire to succeed. In addition to these benefits, students are also able to learn from one another as they observe their classmates' work. If you're creating a display of student work, frame it before hanging it on the bulletin board to highlight the work and add interest to the display.
