Profesional Dress
Professional dress is very important in the teacher world or rather any profession at hand. There are definitely things that shouldn't be worn at work because of the setting. Especially when you wouldn't want people to get the wrong impression of you. Lets face it as human beings we can be very judgmental knowingly or not. To avoid these issues you carry yourself in a manner where you don't give others a opportunity to even go there. Of course we will all have spirit days (Jeans and school shirt) but that is not everyday wear. You as a teacher are to set an example with your students. If you dress professionally they will hold you with a certain respect. But if you wear t-shirt and jeans constantly they will feel more laid back not taking you serious. More on a level of treating you like one of their friends. When you don't dress professional you aren't setting a boundary or showing a difference between student and teacher.

Do you think it depends on the grade level? Would a five year old respond better to someone in khakis and a polo shirt than a woman wearing a skirt suit?
ReplyDeleteI believe that professional dress is very important in any career setting. Coming from the different grade levels, I do not believe that you have to dress professional everyday. Some young children relate better to people who they think are like them. On most days I do believe that you should wear professional dress, but on others you should dress comfortably, as long as you remain professional at all times, no matter what you are wearing.
