Pretty soon I'll be a teacher again. Only a long-term substitute, though, so I'm yet to have my own classroom. When I do, I'll need to get some morale and moral boosting posters for the walls.
Three posters stick in my mind from when I was a student. The first encouraged students in Ms. R's math class to stick through algebraic frustrations.
Next, I had a somewhat buddhist lesson in mindfulness.
Finally, my social studies teacher had a small quote above the chalkboard.
It seemed ironic given the emphasis on rote memorization of facts in the class, and the possibility that the quote didn't originate with Eleanor Roosevelt. But it stuck with me nonetheless.
