Spotlight on:
Supporting Language Learners
Helping ELL and dual language learners works best when learning is visual and instructional. Bright bilingual posters made with the Educator Plus poster printer can boost vocabulary, language skills, and cultural understanding. In addition, these displays help families and visitors feel welcome, while also showing students that all cultures and languages are valued in the school community.
With support from Title I or Title III grants, schools can make bilingual and multilingual resources part of everyday learning.
Spotlight on:
Community, Culture, and Belonging
Strong school communities celebrate culture both inside and outside the classroom. With a poster printer, schools can create vibrant visuals for cultural events, bilingual family nights, and community celebrations. These displays help families feel welcome and highlight the diversity that makes each school unique.
Community schools programs and Title IV grants can provide funding to support these efforts, helping schools strengthen family engagement and build inclusive environments.
Spotlight on:
Student Entrepreneurship and CTE
Some schools take Career and Technical Education a step further by turning their poster printer into a student-led business. Graphic arts and entrepreneurship students design, produce, and manage print projects for their schools and communities. As a result, students gain real-world experience while building portfolios and employable skills. These programs show students how creativity, business, and technology connect in meaningful ways.
Perkins grants and other career education funds can help schools launch and sustain these student-run print shops, giving learners authentic opportunities to practice career-ready skills.
