This year, we asked what resources would be helpful for you in your day-to-day life as an educator. You said classroom posters, so we got to work.
With the new school year just around the corner, here are some of our favorite free posters for your classroom (and the creative ways our teachers have been using them!).
Using a classroom poster to decorate your classroom might sound obvious. However, a lot of research has gone into proving the benefits of adding color and engaging visuals to your learning environment.
This is what inspired our Timeline of Western Theatre History poster, which takes students through key periods of the performing arts in a multimedia format.
This poster aims to make learning more memorable, providing students with a visual aid to understand how Romanticism led to Naturalism, or why post-war periods often shift to the absurd. In other words, it has been designed to make your classroom work harder for you.

In a 2025 DT+ survey, we asked teachers to share their preferred resource format:
In response, we created a classroom poster that can be easily repurposed as a printable handout. Why? To help teachers maximize content reinforcement and provide their students with a tangible, familiar resource to aid in future home study.
Our Poetic Themes poster combines literary analysis, key quotes, and QR code links to high-quality recitations, all in one interactive resource. Join the 500+ English teachers who have already received their free poster.

While our Poetic Themes poster aids revision, we’ve also designed classroom posters that focus on in-lesson teaching. One popular example is our poster of Shakespearean insults.
This poster includes a blank ‘worksheet variant’ to encourage active participation in your ELA or theatre lessons (and save you time planning your next class starter).

A new school year means new students – and new student needs.
This is where our new ELA resource comes in. We’ve created a set of six classroom posters, each featuring famous quotes from popular texts such as The Crucible, Macbeth, A Doll’s House, and more.
These posters help introduce new material ahead of time for students who require additional support, and the beautiful imagery (taken from DT+ productions) can bring literature to life for even the most reluctant of readers.
