Another way to showcase learners is to display their work. The goal of displaying work is to create ownership in the learning environment, instill a sense of pride in a job well done, and promote effort and personal best. In the Great Expectations teaching model, every learner has work displayed with positive commentary focusing on quality effort or quality work. Due to privacy concerns and rules of confidentiality, works with grade labeling or grade marks should not be displayed. Methods of displaying every learner’s work may differ greatly from location to location. The goal is to focus on the desired level of success.
