In the Classroom…Avoid bringing the beach into the office.
Having a cover-up (neutral blazer or cardigan) on hand will always make an outfit look more professional. Trade your tank top for a silk shell and Havanas for backless mules.
• Modesty is key. A teacher’s clothing should not show too much skin. Some clothing can show inappropriate parts of the body while moving--so make sure you try many different poses before you wear something to work.
• Dress professionally. On any given day, you may see administrators, colleagues, superintendents, parents, volunteers and other visitors. You should always present a professional appearance--even if your dress code allows for a casual wardrobe.
