With our observational practicums fast approaching my question is about how we should dress in the classroom. As young teachers we need to dress in a professional manner if we want to be treated as professionals by our host school and our students. The last thing I want is for some students to mistake me for a new student! I grew up in Northern BC, and the dress code was very casual for teachers at my schools. What is it like in Victoria? How should we dress to impress? What is appropriate clothing for the classroom and what is not?
Any comments or questions would be appreciated. Maybe people who went to high school in the area can share their knowledge from their time in school. Maybe Chris can help us to answer some of the trickier questions regarding protocol. Thanks!
