A question for HS Teachers
I'm trying to figure out how to decorate my classroom for the year. Since I don't teach a single subject (I have a 9-12 resource room), I'm drawing a blank. It's a college prep school. My first idea was various university pennants, but the cost of using mini pennants is adding up quickly.
Any thoughts?
TIA
Re: A question for HS Teachers
Our guidance department does the whole college pennant thing... maybe you guidance dept has some extra?
I do: maps, posters of famous people w/inspirational quotes (King, Ghandi, Stanton, Kennedy, etc), a MASSIVE student created collage of What it Means to Be American, and random posters of art.
The student created collage is really awesome. They have to find images (in color) and design/set up the entire thing. It usually ends up being at least one entire cork board... it looks really cool and the students love it. I also make them write a paragraph or two analyzing their selection and connecting it to the American experience.

Maybe since you teach various subjects you could ask teachers who teach exclusively in those content areas if they have any posters they aren't planning on using this year. I know I have a lot of posters that don't make it up every year and would be happy to loan them out.
Or you could just be like most male teachers and not decorate at all.
I teach business and technology and none of the posters for those subjects are appealing. I go for sports and art. I have posters for all of the Boston teams and have many poster prints of MC Escher's work. He's my favorite artist. My students like them!
I also have the students hang up their work in my room. This could be promotional materials from Marketing or creative projects from Desktop Publishing. They're high schoolers but still love to show their work off. LOL
ETA - I do have some posters from Junior Achievement. They send random posters each year and I sometimes hang them up. Sometimes, they're too corny though and I skip them.
Good idea.
Thanks everyone for the tips.
Did you write to a specific office/department at the schools for these?
Not BekiB, but I can answer. We request donations from colleges for prom and we always contact the office of admissions.
This is from an elementary teacher but...we've always been taught if the students aren't part of the design/decoration it's just wallpaper and I agree with that.
Maybe have students make something about their aspirations or college dreams. Just a thought.
