5 Reasons to Use Motivational Posters in Your Classroom

For the past several years, instead of posting a list of rules in my classroom, I have used motivational posters. Not only do they make a pretty bulletin board that can be left up year around, there are several other reasons why using motivational posters in your classroom can be a benefit to your students.

1. Motivational posters provide students with a positive message. Rather than posting a list of behaviors that students should not do, motivational posters provide students with examples of positive behaviors, and these posters can help to reinforce the positive behaviors that students should strive to have.

2. Motivational posters make a great morning routine. Simply choral read, or have a student in charge of reading the motivational posters each morning. This is another way to motivate students each morning to be their best.

3. Motivational posters can be used as a reference. When students make mistakes, motivational posters are a great reference to remind students how to correct their behaviors.

4. Motivational posters help students understand classroom expectations.

5. Motivational help to instill positive character traits in our students. They can become a part of character education in your classroom.

Have a blessed day!
