How to Choose the Right Teaching Easel for Your Classroom
Match Easel Type to Your Teaching Method
Reading-writing centers function as a complete classroom easel hub for guided reading and small-group instruction. Chart stands work well as anchor stations for whole-class lessons, while tabletop models fit spaces with limited floor area. Carts and trolleys provide flexible, mobile options for teachers who move between rooms daily.
Understand Surfaces, Storage, and Mobility
When evaluating teacher easels classroom layouts require, look for a balance of writeable space and organization. Most Copernicus floor units feature a magnetic dry-erase whiteboard, felt pads for flannel board activities, safety-stop storage tubs, and locking casters for easy repositioning.
Consider Bamboo for Eco-Friendly Classrooms
Copernicus bamboo easels use a renewable material that may appeal to schools prioritizing sustainability initiatives. Tubs on bamboo models are made with 25 percent recycled content. Copernicus donates to the World Wildlife Fund for every bamboo product purchased.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a teacher easel and what is it used for in the classroom?
A teacher easel is a mobile teaching station used for guided reading, modeled writing, anchor chart display, and lesson presentation. Most include a magnetic whiteboard, book ledge, storage tubs, and locking casters. They are designed as easels for teachers in Pre-K through elementary classrooms. A classroom easel keeps all lesson materials organized and mobile on one unit.
What features should I look for when choosing teacher easels for my classroom?
Look for a magnetic dry-erase surface, snap-on hooks for chart paper, storage tubs with safety stops, and locking casters for mobility. Some models include a felt pad on the reverse side for flannel activities. Tabletop models work for classrooms without floor space for a full-size unit. When choosing teacher easels, classroom use and grade level should guide your surface and storage selection.
What is an anchor chart easel, and how is it different from a teaching easel?
An anchor chart easel is a stand that holds chart paper pads at teaching height for whole-class instruction. A teaching easel is a full station with whiteboards, storage, and book display. Chart stands are simpler and dedicated to chart paper display. Teaching easels combine multiple surfaces and storage on one mobile unit.
Are Copernicus bamboo teacher easels as durable as the metal models?
