Bulletin Board Ideas for Teachers
Our Teach Starter teacher team has put up many a bulletin board over all the years in heaps of Australian classrooms, so before you download your next bulletin board kit, we need to divulge a few hard-earned tips!
- Use a fabric backdrop. Bulletin board paper is great, but 16-year teaching veteran Randi Smith kept some bulletin board fabric up for years because fabric holds up and lasts forever.
- Don’t bother stapling all your cutouts to your bulletin board immediately. Instead, Smith suggests using thumbtacks so you can step back, eye up what’s level and what isn’t, then move things around.
- Use a permanent marker to hide staples. Find a marker that matches the colour of your cutouts, and poof, the staples disappear!
- Start hanging words in the middle. This tip comes from long-time educator and resource manager Natalie Brown. Building out from the centre helps ensure you keep things even!
- Use clothespegs. Planning to make a student work bulletin board? Teach Starter resource creator and former classroom teacher Brittany Collins suggests gluing tacks to the back of clothespegs to display student work easily on your bulletin boards. Bonus, Teach Starter's 'student work coming' printables work as a perfect placeholder until your students’ work starts flowing in!
