Signage can help both those visiting and full time workers locate classroom and facilities, and aid in the smooth running of the school itself. Mostly, this will take the form of wayfinding or informational signage for visitors and those who are not familiar with the building(s). But there’s also a need for regular teachers’ signs, and these can take many forms. We’ve listed just a few of the most popular options below.

 

What are Teachers’ Signs?

Teachers make up the vast majority of workers within a school or educational environment. Just like students and children, they will spend a vast amount of their day on the premises, and may need teachers’ signs to aid them.  But, what exactly are teachers’ signs and what purpose do they serve?

 

Types of teachers’ signs:

• • • Office & classroom signs with their name
    • Sliding door signs with occupied or out of office 
    • Any signage for back of house use
    • Allocated parking signs
    • A permanent display identifying all teaching staff
    • Classroom decorative & informational signs.
    • Staff room signage
    • University office notice boards
    • Staff cubby hole identification

 

These are just a few examples of teachers’ signs, but anything that is made either for use by the teacher, or to aid in identifying and locating said teacher, could be classed as a teachers’ sign. We can make teacher signs out of whatever material will best suit both the aesthetic and the needs of your location: our team of experts will guide you through what will work best and your options if you are unsure. 

While it may appear easier (and more cost effective) to use quickly printed of DIY signage for some of these signs, it helps to remember that a well made sign will not only last longer, but it will help to maintain a professional edge to the school, something that visitors will pick up on, be they staff or prospective student parents.

 

Teachers’ Signs that go the distance.

Most signage that involves staff members and teachers will be made to last a long time: unlike the signage found within a classroom. This is because teachers stay in their role (and location) for long periods of time when compared to the movement of the students. Because of this, teachers’ signs tend to be high quality and hard wearing, made up of acrylic or aluminium composite, and  may also feature branding for the school.

Room and door signs can be wall or door mounted (rather than attached with VHB tape) and etched or engraved with the name of the teacher who works there, adding a degree of calibre that sets it apart from the surrounding brightly coloured signage intended for the students. 

As with any signage intended for branding and conveying the efficient running of a site, teachers’ signs contribute to the overall professionalism and credibility of the school. They help to create a positive first impression and instil confidence in students and visitors alike. To do this, however, they need to be hard wearing enough to withstand daily wear and tear, and be properly maintained to be kept in a good condition.

To make sure that signs remain looking as good (and legible) as they did when they were first installed, Medash takes pride in using cutting edge technology to create our signs, and decades of experience to know what materials and styles will best suit its intended purpose. 

Easy to install, easy to update:

While most teachers’ signs will be designed to stand the test of time, sometimes they need replacing or updating.  To ensure the cohesive branding of the school, these should match all other signage of a similar purpose. The best way to achieve this is to go to the same expert sign makers who will have your design specifics on file. 

As well as this, Medash can carry out site visits and will treat each sign uniquely, to ensure that you get exactly what you need for each particular signage option. Add to this an extremely quick turn around and installation time, and you can see why many schools and educational facilities rely on Medash for all of their signage needs.
