A lot of us are still nostalgic for the good old days when the only things we’d have to worry about were getting to class on time and doing our homework. When you finish school, you might start to realize just how awesome some of your teachers were. They’re the authority figures who always put in extra effort when explaining topics to you. They’re the everyday superheroes who’d give you life advice. They’re the artistic souls who would spend hours on colorful signs and charts just to make learning more fun.

Bored Panda has collected a wide variety of informative, supportive, hilarious, and just downright awesome signs that teachers have put up in their classrooms. Scroll down to see the best of the best, and remember to upvote the pics that you liked the most.

Do we have any teachers, professors, or other educators in the crowd tonight? We’d love to hear what tips and tricks you rely on to help your students learn better. You can leave us a comment or two at the bottom of this article, dear Pandas.

Bored Panda wanted to learn more about the role of being an educator, the importance of visual aids, and the secrets to making eye-catching signs, so we reached out to Lisa McLendon from the University of Kansas. Lisa is the William Allen White Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications and the Coordinator at the Bremner Editing Center at KU.

"Visual aids, audio aids, written aids—they’re all good. Presenting information to students in more than one format can help students grasp it more quickly and easily," she told us. Scroll down for our full interview with Lisa.

itsmeaidil Report

Lisa from the Univesity of Kansas gave Bored Panda some very useful advice on making striking signs for education. "I’m more of a word person than a designer, so I tend to keep signs really simple:

  • High contrast: Dark type/light background.
  • Uncluttered: Nothing there that doesn’t need to be. Just because your program lets you add sparkles, icons, gradient backgrounds, etc. doesn’t mean you should use them.
  • Clear: People read signs at a glance, so use a typeface that is easily readable (many script fonts are hard to read), a size that is large enough, and concise wording."

Bored Panda was also interested in hearing Lisa's opinion about how much educators should go beyond simply teaching the curriculum.

"The best professors engage with their students, demonstrate a love of learning, and support students in their studies and as they launch their careers. For me, this means keeping an eye out for potential internships, staying connected with my own network to keep my skills and connections fresh, writing reference letters, talking with students about career paths and their plans, and generally helping them succeed however I can. Academics have some power to shape students’ futures, but mostly it depends on the students’ own interests and efforts," she said.

Being a teacher or professor is no easy task even in the best of times. But during a global pandemic? Things are harder than ever and some academics are finding it hard to adapt to rapidly-changing rules and regulations.

Teacher Kevin, who has 20 years of experience being an educator and counselor, previously told Bored Panda that the Covid-19 lockdowns have been “very taxing” for a lot of staff. The shift from live to online teaching hasn’t been easy and the older educators especially have generally had a harder time adapting.

 "The older teachers who are not technologically literate simply couldn't keep up," he said.

"Although I can use tech well, building and maintaining open lines of communication with students is surprisingly difficult. Students are less comfortable writing an e-mail for help than asking in person. Covid will dramatically change how we teach, which will include more online options moving forward,” the teacher told Bored Panda.

It’s not just visual queues and gorgeous charts that can help students learn. According to teacher Kevin, music can be a great tool as well. It helps students focus and gets them in the right mood for learning.

"Music is a highly undervalued tool. Plan to attempt some data collection on whether music can help certain students during specific tasks. Playing remixes of the same song during the entirety of a week's lesson, then allowing students to listen to that soundtrack during test-taking has potential,” he wanted to share some of his wisdom with everyone.

"New educators need empathy and emotional intelligence over topic mastery. I truly believe the best teachers are the ones who can empathize best with their students, as they can understand how a student made a mistake, and how to fix it. Students are extremely stressed, and making the work more difficult does not equal a better education. Collaborate to make reasonable goals," the educator said that support and being able to relate to students are key.

Meanwhile, an educator’s role isn’t limited to imparting knowledge just within the confines of the school, either. Primary school teachers Tom Rose and Jack Parnnett from the United Kingdom shared with Bored Panda just how hectic things can get when you go on a class trip. No number of quality signs that you make in advance can really teach your class to be calm, quiet, and orderly throughout the excursion.

"School trips are very challenging, especially for newer teachers, because of the constant changing of locations or 'transitions' as teachers usually refer to them as," they told Bored Panda.

"Many teachers fear PE for the same basic reason, which is: not having a safe confined space to teach (as they are used to when they are in a classroom). The extra pressure of trying to impress the parent/carer helpers is another thing that gets in the way of many teachers doing their job too, which is again much more obvious with less experienced teachers," the teachers explained just how challenging leaving the classroom with your students can be.

"Beyond the transitions and dealing with the other adult help, you then have to deal with the many unexpected things that crop up along the way, such as the transport issues, sudden changes of weather, stumbling across a bee's nest (that was Tom in Bushy Park) amongst many other potentials," they shared.

According to the British teachers, educators ought to try and go on the trip alone to rehearse for the real school trip. Preparation and repetition are powerful tools in an educator’s arsenal.

"If that’s not possible, then talk to someone else who's done the trip before and/or complete the route via Google street view. This then informs your plan and your 'risk assessment' which is a document that contains all of the potential hazards and problems that you could incur ranging from walking near dogs on a lead to losing a child at a train station,” Tom and Jack said.

"Planning a trip is one thing, but having backup options if things go wrong is another that requires composure—‘box breathing’ is our ‘go-to’ method if we are stressed and want to calm down. Box breathing is a practice where you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold breath for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds and repeat until your heart rate slows down," they offered advice on how to calm down if you get overwhelmed.

The teachers told Bored Panda that educators should be aware of which of their students might need more management than others before starting the trip. Some kids will naturally act out more when they find themselves in new surroundings and will challenge their teachers.

Tom and Jack advised their fellow teachers to always allocate more time to each step of the trip than they think they’ll need. What’s more, they should reach out to their coworkers for advice. Something else to keep in mind is that students’ parents gossip quite a bit, so it’s important to be diplomatic when briefing them if they’re joining the class trip.

The teacher duo also advised their fellow educators to focus on themselves. Educators have an instinct to take care of everyone else and forget their own needs, so they need reminding that they’re important, too. Getting enough sleep, remembering to pack a lunch for yourself, scheduling some time off for after the trip—these are all things that they need to remember.

I'm not a big fan of this one. For one, it isn't all inclusive so there are plenty of kids that will feel left out or that their experiences aren't valued. Secondly, it focuses on the negative, and those are some real heavy topics for little kids. It is just divisive by nature. How about just not focusing on what background all of your wonderful students come from and just hammer home, "Treat others the way you want to be treated?" That's universal and focuses on something universally good

Why are you calling students in an American classroom, "Mexicans." Not even , "Mexican-Americans," but referring to them as foriegners! (3) How about Hispanics who are NOT from Mexico? Did you know that people from Mexico make up a minority of Hispanics immigrants? (4) The teacher is saying there are no walls. This is literally posted on a wall.

Where's the one that says " Dear White students, you are not racists."? Or do white students not matter at this school?

Why are they all cut outs like a random note from kidnappers. Very negative feeling from this message.

With messages like these I'm surprised they don't also have a sign that states, "Dear white, male, students, you are responsible for all of the suffering of the aforementioned students. Go genocide yourselves."

Wow! The comments! Please read "White Fragility". Pretending that racism does not exist or that you're "color blind", actually adds to the problem.

I feel like there are better ways to teach students about respect and create an open and inclusive environment, this looks a little bit... I don't know, almost as if it's ironic (and I believe that probably there are some aholes in this school that mock those signs) because it's so obvious, but it's already a good start :)!

Even though it may seem like negative statements, they are good for engaging discourses about stereotypical, labelling and diversity. I'd use this in my Equality and Diversity lesson.

Why not just "In this classroom everyone will be treated as students equal to one another, we are here to learn in a safe, tolerant, and judgment free atmosphere where everyone is protected, because we are the same as human beings, protected by the laws of our government, yet we are all different in our own ways that are unique to every human and that is something that should be celebrated and shared".

I LOVE it!!! THIS IS NOT NEGATIVE!!!!! This is positive reinforcement!!! This is not a negative reminder of what was said but a positive declaration against those stereotypes that are used to condemn people based on race and religion!!! This opens up dialogue for discussion and understanding!!!!! This said out loud, behind closed doors, on TV and the internet so why think it's negative for students to read or hear? Why let it fester and grow when we can talk about it and nip it in the bud? Remember no one is born racist it is taught but when we try to teach what's right all of a sudden it's wrong and we are infringing on parents rights??? Make up your mind because Teachers wear MANY hats and most of the time being a Teacher is way down the list behind parent, nurse, counselor, mediator, etc.!!!

I dont like the "in this classroom" part on two messages, but girls seriously need to hear as often as possibly their body is theirs and no one has a right to do anything to it without asking and getting a clear yes. The Mexican and Muslim signs are weird comparatively, it takes the onus off others and onto their identity. How about "Dear Muslim students, your faith is not wrong/dangerous"? I have no idea. These are weird. But the one for the girls needs to be everywhere and also told to all children. Consent teaching starts from the first time someone wants to force a hug or kiss on a toddler. You can ALWAYS teach bodily autonomy.

Literally no. Generalizing whites is the EXACT SAME THING you are saying happens to blacks. You don't correct one form of racism by practicing another. Moron.

Pandering woke teacher. Kids don't think like this. It's morons like you that push this nonsense. They go to school and see there friends and hate homework, they spend every day in the same classroom for years. Billy likes video games, Jay likes sports, that's really all they care about. That is until you use woke scripts and make sure innocent kids know that guess what your different and people hate you for it.

The political enforcers don't like this, but I think I see what you mean: the letters are straighter than the paper they're printed on! Psst: you know you're a totalitarian when you downvote the truth.

Yes. Specifically in an attempt to cease the practice of referring to a person as "illegal." People may do something that is illegal, but a person is not illegal.

No they matter, it's just that colored people are being treated like they don't matter. And we need to show that they matter just as much as we do.
