First off, I love your blog. Second of all any tips for a student teacher going to a high school for her filed experience. What are some things you wear as a teacher? I know I can’t wear sweats and leggings as a student teacher but what else?

Good luck in your practicum!  Be yourself and show that you care about kids.

How you dress depends on the school you work in.  I have typically worked in smaller schools with students from farming families and students from lower socio-economic homes, so I tend to not dress too fancy.  I still dress professionally, but there are many ways you can make jeans and leggings (as long as you have a longer shirt) look professional, whether it’s with boots, a (not too fancy) blazer, etc.  See what the other teachers are wearing and try to be one above that (as a student teacher) and still follow your own style.

Good luck! 🙂
