Description

Create a positive classroom environment with these vibrant We Believe statements! These visually appealing posters help establish clear behavior expectations, promote positive behavior, and enhance classroom management.

These belief statements can change an entire classroom culture. Rather than introducing or creating ‘class rules’, these basic tenants are ideals my class holds about our classroom, our work together, and the world. Short, sweet, and easy to remember, these phrases have tremendous power.

Within the first few weeks of school, we discuss (as a class) the implications of these statements, students collectively decide which fit for our classroom (with my support), and as we add them to our walls we ask “How will my actions reflect these beliefs?”

To create this space in my classroom, I used black bulletin board paper. Then, I printed the statements on cardstock, cut them out, and then, added a coordinating color of cardstock behind them. Then, I laminated and re-cut the belief statements. I printed the letters for “WE BELIEVE” on cardstock, cut them, and glued them onto my piece of black bulletin board paper. It was a fairly simple process with huge effect in my classroom. (The posters look great in color or black/white.)

  1. Megan H. –

    I loved this idea for a specific bulletin board that I plan to leave up year round. The colors are great and match everything!

  2. Rebecca T. –

    This resource has been a fantastic addition to my special education classroom! I teach elementary and middle school students with diverse learning needs, and this material worked beautifully across grade levels. The activities were engaging and accessible, with clear instructions that made differentiation easy. My students stayed focused and actually enjoyed the learning process, which is always a win in my book!

    The layout is clean and easy to follow, and I appreciated how little prep time was needed to get started. It’s clear that the creator understands what teachers need in a ready-to-use resource. I was able to implement this right away with minimal modifications, which saved me valuable planning time.

    I highly recommend this to any special education teacher looking for quality, adaptable materials. This is definitely a resource I’ll be using again and again. Thank you for creating something that truly supports our students!

    I absolutely loved using the Classroom Expectations and Belief Subway Art display in my classroom! It was a colourful and engaging way to reinforce positive classroom expectations while helping students understand the importance of kindness, respect, responsibility, and making good choices. The display added a welcoming touch to the classroom and became a great visual reminder throughout the school year. It was easy to use, eye-catching, and a wonderful addition to our classroom environment.

    When I am looking to purchase something from TPT I spend time comparing what is on offer. One of the best mindset posters packets in my opinion!

  7. Amanda T. –

    Easy to use. Love it for my Grade 8 class. Have been keeping it up for years.

  9. Barbara P. –

    Thanks for creating a great classroom resource. I am excited to use this in my classroom.

  10. Angie M. –

    I used this in our 4th and 5th grade hall. This was a perfect display that could be used any time of the year. I kept it up all year and just covered it up if we needed it for something else. I could then uncover it and have something there when we didn’t have anything else we needed there. A huge time saver and didn’t feel stress to put something up.

  11. AnneMarie R. –

    Can’t wait to use this for my Middle School Classroom. Love that it builds up stamina

  12. Samantha W. –

    I love this as a quick colorful bulletin board! I started in a Catholic school, so I like the faith options but there are still plenty of other options to use now that I am in a public school.

  13. Patricia H. –

    I printed this and put it on my circulation desk for kids to see during checkout. It is so colorful and eye catching. I can’t wait for the kids to see it in August!

  14. Donna B. –

    I put this bulletin board in my school’s hallway, and it looks great. The graphics are great and easy to read.

  15. Special Ed Life Skills Help –

    I found this resource to be well-crafted and easy to use and integrate into my classroom.

  16. Linda L. –

    Positive and colorful, upbeat messages with minimal effort. Looks great! Perfect for middle or high school.
