Ready for the inspiration bomb? Here we go!
Get ideas on these Pinterest accounts for teachers
1. Teachers on Pinterest
This is the number one teacher account you should follow. No kidding. You can find everything here.
The account is divided into 32 boards. The boards concern topics per grade level, course or education themes like “classroom decor” or “mobile learning”.
For fun science projects, you should take a look at their “science” board.
2. Edutopia on Pinterest
Edutopia gives any teacher inspiration and information about what works in education. Here are some boards on their account you can follow: “resources and downloads”, “students like tech”, “bullying prevention”, “digital citizenship” and much more!
3. Teacher Outfits
Yes, I’m serious. Teacher outfits. Don’t know what to wear for class or what’s (in)appropriate? Take a look at this page and get some teacher fashion ideas!
Someone should really open a store just for teacher clothes! Or you can combine your clothes like the lady on the picture below.
Tip: you can easily click on “boards” and follow the teacher outfit boards you like.
4. Schoolgirl style
Melanie is the creator of the popular teaching blog “Schoolgirl Style”. She inspires teachers with her beautiful designs and stylish classroom decors. It’s amazing how many great ideas she has!
5. Classroom management
When you have some classroom management issues, you might take a look at this board. 27 Teachers collaborate to give you the best advice on classroom management.
You can also take a look at these two blog post about reward systems and punishment mistakes. I’m sure their help will you to get a hold on your classroom.
6. Donna Staten
Get crafty with your students, just like Donna. She shows you some art projects and gives you wonderful ideas. I must say, I want to get crafty already. You should definitely take a look at the boards “art recipes”, “ArtEd- Classroom Decor & Organization” and “artED-Printables”.
7. BookWidgets
BookWidgets’ Pinterest account focusses mostly on educational technology. They show you how to integrate technology in some specific classes and give you tips on how you can use BookWidgets and edtech to create an interactive classroom.
8. Allison @ No Time For Flash Cards
This Pinterest account focusses on pretty much everything, but there is one thing that pops out: ideas for teaching reading and writing. Take a look at this board: “Reading and writing readiness”. Allison pins lessons, crafts and random teaching things that are worth pinning.
She’s also the author of Raising A Rock-Star Reader.
9. Teacher humor
Students might think otherwise, but teachers laugh as well. I can’t count every “teacher humor” board on Pinterest. There are so many! This means you can laugh with your teacher problems and issues until your cheeks get sore.
10. Laura Candler
Need some teaching resources for your classroom? Well, you’re at the right place. Laura Candler is the creator of the Teaching Resources website. She loves to share and collaborate with other educators. Don’t ask me to choose my favorite boards. I’m loving all of them!
I hope you got inspired by these super creative Pinterest accounts for teachers. Now you only have one problem: where do you start?
