Dressing the Part!!!

As a education major in college, I have been taught that dressing the part as a future educator i important. Teachers are role model for children; they learn how to dress, and carry themselves from admiring adult in their life. One great characteristic that should describe a teacher is professionalism. The way a teacher dresses is very important. Dressing the part for a interview and important meetings allows people to witness how professional you are.



For Women:
  

For Men     

Dressing to impress but still being professional can still work for future educators that are young and love fashion. Professionalism doesn't mean Conservative and boring. You can still be yourself and express yourself in the work place with still being professional. 


What women teachers can wear: 

  • button down blouse
  • heels (not to high)
  • flats
  • pencil skirt (plain/ pattern)
  • blazers
  • sweaters

  1. A female elementary teacher needs to be able to squat down next to a low table and even to sit on the floor--I remember my teachers wearing full, long (like mid-calf) skirts in the early 80s. These days, some tailored capris with a cute blouse and flats look professional and feel comfortable!

    Guys have it easy :)

  2. Yes I want to be that teacher to get down to interacted and engage with the students. Is easy to stay professional and be comfortable all at once.

  3. I love this post! As an educator it is important to make sure you look professional (and it doesn't hurt to look good while doing it!). Clothes have to be appropriate, functional, and comfortable.
