Classroom Poster Ideas for Middle / High School

Looking for some free and fabulous classroom posters for your middle or high school classroom? Finding lots that are geared towards elementary students? Well... I've been looking too and have found a lot of great finds that I thought I could share with all of you.

I've been checking out blogs lately and noticing the fantastic amount of work that goes into setting up an elementary school classroom- the themes and ideas that some people have are amazing!! Never mind, the hours of time and the hundreds of dollars that have been spent on each room.   As a high school teacher who shares a room with another teacher (I think this is common in High School as many of us in my school teach in several different rooms) it can be hard to "decorate" a classroom to appeal to both teachers and students.

I have posted some subject specific posters in my room, but I also like to include some fun quote posters, some inspirational posters and some academic posters.  Thankfully, we live in the world of the internet and there are literally 1000s of ideas and examples available for FREE.

Here are a few of my favorite places to find some FREE and fabulous posters for your classroom.

Venspired Blog has a fabulous set of FREE posters on her Flickr stream that she encourages you to download and use in your classroom.  Krissy Venosdale has designed them all herself and they're beautiful!! You can print them at home or have them printed at a local print shop for brighter colors. (I'm going to print a few a my local print shop this year and put them in inexpensive frames - can't wait!!)  Her blog is amazing and one of my favorites!!

Technology Rocks. Seriously - Love, love, love the posters on this great blog.  They're colorful, but still printer ink friendly and will look great in any classroom. 

I have several sets of FREE posters in my TpT store - click to download a set of "The Outsiders - Quote Posters",  "Types of Sentences" or check out my newest set pictured below! Six posters to highlight six subjects!  Click the image to grab a set!

Pinterest - wow... you could literally spend thousands of hours perusing the poster possibilities on Pinterest (how's that for alliteration!?).  Here's a link to my Pinterest board of Quotes, Posters and Sayings.  Just be sure to check the terms of use before you download and post the posters and remember that all of the ideas on Pinterest need to be credited back to the original source - you can't just credit Pinterest. 

Teachers Pay Teachers - I just did a quick search for "posters" and then narrowed the search by clicking on "free" and there were over 5000 options for 6th-8th grade alone!! Use the search features to narrow it down even further.

EdGalaxy - I recently discovered this website with some fabulous FREE posters & resources covering a wide variety of subjects and grade levels.  ELA, Science, Geography & more!!  There are close to 50 free posters on this website!

Common Sense Media - wow... they have some fantastic social media and digital citizenship posters that I'm going to put up in my room this year. 

Here are a few more places to grab some awesome posters for your classroom!  Check out the posters at Light Bulbs and Laughter, Teach Junkie, and these great ones from Edutopia.

Have fun printing out and putting up posters!
