Classroom Settings that Create a Learning Climate

..Bulletin boards can be utilized for best practices
...Classroom walls can be another "teacher" in the room.
..."Word Walls" provide opportunities for students to interact with specific words daily through games and activities.  Once students are using words seamlessly, they can gradually be replaced with new words.
...Robert Marzano "indicates it is important to have writing samples on a bulletin board that represent each of the levels of quality writing."
...A successful math strategy is assigning a section of the board where students create math problems that equal a given answer.
