"A Little Bit of This and Not Too Much of That..." Is there a recipe for class display load level in elementary schools?

Abstract

The classroom display in elementary schools, usually, manifests the teacher's effort and vision. However, upon entering an elementary school classroom one will usually encounter a visual overload. How can teachers determine the appropriate amount of elements that would be on display? How can they know what is the accurate recipe for a pleasant and efficient display? It seems that, in practice, this might resemble your grandma’s cake recipe, which was passed down from generation to generation. “Just put a little bit of this and not too much of that…”  This article aims to give an overview about these questions and to supply a few ideas and solutions.
