    Capsule wardrobe. Work polo, jeans, sneakers, Edumatch jacket. Unless I'm training, then I'll dress it up a little. #bfc530
  • ChrisQuinn64 Jun 29 @ 5:31 AM EDT
    Business casual is our usual! 😊 #bfc530
  • GruntledChalkie Jun 29 @ 5:31 AM EDT
    We are expected to dress "professional" That's jacket and tie which is a nuisance when having a play with the students #bfc530

    #bfc530 Good Morning from CT! Getting ready for a heat wave.
  • CoachKCullen Jun 29 @ 5:33 AM EDT
    Casual, jeans & sneakers. I need to be comfortable and I move around classroom a lot. I wouldnt recommend for everyone, but I think my choice of clothes helps promote the vibe Im trying to create in the classroom #bfc530

  • MsCommins108 Jun 29 @ 5:34 AM EDT
    #bfc530 I dress fairly casually at work. So much running around, it is hard to wear heels any more. I get lots of compliments on my Converse sneakers these days.

    Gm. Ss judge how professional and serious about the profession by how I dress. business attire. Fresh kicks on Friday though. . #bfc530
  • ChrisQuinn64 Jun 29 @ 5:35 AM EDT
    I’m off for a run after my workout! Have a fantastic Friday, friends! I’ll miss connecting with all of you through the summer! I’ll be back following Labour Day. Peace! #bfc530
  • loliveira55 Jun 29 @ 5:36 AM EDT
    Most teachers dress professionally. Fewer and fewer wear ties including me. I hate them. Usually wear polo shirt and khakis. We have dress down Fridays and jeans are the norm. #bfc530
  • CoachKCullen Jun 29 @ 5:36 AM EDT
    Needed to wear a tie everyday when I worked in CT. Always felt constricted.Came back to give a chapel talk a yr later & student who introduced me said one thing he always noticed was how much I hated ties b/c my knot was always loose, other kids nodded in agreement #bfc530
    In reply to @GruntledChalkie
  • MrLemere Jun 29 @ 5:37 AM EDT
    Yes...I agree somewhat. They also judge profession by how we treat them more #BFC530

    At least with us guys jacket and tie is easy The women have a long list of what is and isn't acceptable #bfc530
  • carlameyrink Jun 29 @ 5:38 AM EDT
    We're in the tropics with no air conditioning so our dress code is definitely casual. #bfc530
  • SusZanti5 Jun 29 @ 5:38 AM EDT
    Good morning friends & hello Friday! As the week comes to a close, be reflective & grateful for the wonders all around you! 👍🏻😊 #bfc530
  • GruntledChalkie Jun 29 @ 5:39 AM EDT
    Yes teh word professional is bandied around lightly #bfc530

  • wheeler_laura Jun 29 @ 5:41 AM EDT
    My school is quite casual. Jeans & t-shirt any day is fine. I wear (nicer) flip flops year round. But I also wear dresses. #bfc530
  • wheeler_laura Jun 29 @ 5:41 AM EDT
    Sneakers then? #bfc530

  • ESL_fairy Jun 29 @ 5:41 AM EDT
    Comfort wins out. If I can’t do basic brain gym or yoga poses or walk laps out on the field with kids who need it, then I’m in too restrictive of an outfit. I can look professional and still be comfortable. Stretchy fabrics for the win. #bfc530

    Business attire. Dress pants, top, blazer/sweater, dress up flats (can't wear heels due to knees). Sometimes a suit. #bfc530

  • SusZanti5 Jun 29 @ 6:04 AM EDT
    Good question, I’m in many schools & I see every kind of attire, I say whatever makes you feel your best! Attitude trumps outfit! 👍🏻#bfc530
  • mfinnCBEcoach Jun 29 @ 6:32 AM EDT
    Usually a button down w slacks and comfortable shoes, Jean Fridays at our school weekly as well. Rarely wear dresses and heels because I’m on the floor a lot w kids and we work out daily together. #bfc530

    My daily dress varies- dresses to jeans- depending on what the day looks like, which clothes are clean, what we’re doing...middle schools are great places for self expression. #bfc530

    I'm typically professional. Fall/Winter: Dress (@CalvinKlein are my faves) with boots and a cardigan/blazer Spring/Summer: skirts, dresses with sandals and a cardigan. Fridays: school or statement tees (typically from @teespring ) promoting social justice, history #bfc530

    We have a “no jeans” policy. I like my Carhartt workpants and a polo. Functional, lots of pockets, allows me freedom to move and work with the kids. #bfc530 #stem #engineering #weareTSA #ruraled

  • DrKnicki Jun 29 @ 8:49 AM EDT
    Depends on the day, mostly dresses and heels, and then we have jeans days with school t-shirts #bfc530
