Posters for the Classroom

These are some small “posters” I’ve made for my classroom.

The first one is to explain to students that teachers base their reality of student behavior and actions upon their perceptions of student behavior and actions. Therefore, the best thing students can do to make sure teachers don’t have a false perception of them is to not act inappropriate. My perception of you is my reality and until we can resolve that perception through either discussion or you acting appropriately that will continue to be my reality. This stays up in my room to remind students of that throughout the year.

The second one is to show students that when wanting to discuss something with teachers they need to consider the time, the manner, and the place of that discussion. Don’t confront teachers in public in the hopes of embarrassing them into doing something, don’t do it at a time during class when it will interfere with class time and do it in a respectful manner in hopes of “winning your case.”  I tell them that (bottom line) teachers will normally win in any confrontation between a student and a teacher. It usually doesn’t do either party any good. The teacher loses respect of one or more student and the student gets in trouble.

These are important lessons for students at an alternative school who usually were never taught necessary skills in talking to others or confronting authority figures in an appropriate manner.

The third one is one I made to celebrate U.S. history.

All of these posters are about 23″ x 19″ in size and 150dpi.

Hope you like them. I may start creating more posters for history and offering them for free. Not finding a lot of good FREE history posters.
