aah! its my first day as an art teaching assistant in a secondary school tommorow!what do i wear?

Answer 1

a respectable outfit, no low cut tops or short skirts

Answer 2

Depends on what you will be doing. I suggest comfortable shoes that will enable you to stand all day, sensible slacks, a nice blouse, and depending on the students, a large, heavy ruler or other method of defense. For an art teacher, I would suggest against a skirt or dress...to much chance of the folds in the cloth brushing against something that hasn't dried yet.

For days when you will be working with clay or paints, older clothes that you do not mind getting messy is appropriate. See about getting a clean white apron...after a year or so of paint it will be it's own work of art. Keep the comfortable shoes...they will be the most important part of your wardrobe in ANY situation.

Answer 3

Teaching art? Wear whatever you want to! Be artistic!
Ok, but seriously- wear something nice (not jeans and a t-shirt) but not overly dressy. Make sure it's appropriate (belly shirts and mini-skirts are just not professional). Be creative, and wear something that you like and are comfortable in. As a student, I enjoy teachers who have a unique sense of style and don't just wear boring khakis and sweaters every day. As a person in art, I'm sure you can understand the importance of personal expression.

Answer 4

I am sure you will think of something! Not only is the dress code for business or education often available in writing, you might take cues from your supervisor, or observed what others were wearing. Some allow super casual, business casual, Jeans Friday, dressy, or something comfortable yet modest, depending on the culture! You might NOT want to be mistaken for a student or have them asking you out. Don't forget to bring your "art smock" or cover-up!

Answer 5

Most of the art teachers I've worked w/ wear comfortable clothing. I suggest khaki pants w/ a casual shirt. You're working on the secondary level so you want to blend in. It is your first day, so I understand wanting to "put your best foot forward". I guess as the assistant you will be doing most of the "grunt" work, so you don't want to be overdressed. Good luck!

Answer 6

wow. so this is your first huge breakthrough as an assistant. basically nothing will be wrong if you wear a business casual, or a plain, yet attractive attire. im secondary school, first impressions last for a while, specially with the kids. so wear somting that will make you look authoritatve, yet flawless. try to hide your body flaws, (if there are any, im sorry). like dark hues for top and then light ones for bottoms, or vice versa. I'm not a fashion guru, but i read magazines as hobbies. so yeah. simple yet right for your age., and appropriate for the environment. nothing too skimpy, but nothing too plain like "blah"

ight..

Answer 7

It depends on the type of school really- did you see what other people wore when you went for an interview. Dunno where your from put in England jeans, and often denim is still not considered appropriate, but generally it is more casual, especially if you could potentially get covered in paint etc. A not too exposing top and smartish trousers/ skirt will probably be fine. Start bland and you can work from there!

Answer 8

Did you notice what the staff were wearing when you went for your interview? That will have given you some idea of the dress code, and if you were unsure, perhaps it could have been one of your questions at the interview to ask them. Never mind. My advice would be to be smart casual, e.g. a pair of plain trousers and matching plain top, not too low cut. Good luck.

Answer 9

Hi I am a secondary school music teacher, all of our classroom assistants wear smart gear such as shirts/blouses a smart pair of dress trousers and a smart pair of comfortable shoes. Basically be smart, nothing too revealing especially if you have to bend down :o)

Hope this helps
Good luck

Answer 10

business casual. Not too dressy, but not too casual. i would suggest a casual sun dress, blouse with slacks/skirt, or something like that. I might also suggest, depending on the messiness of the project, taking along an apron or a smock to keep from getting your clothes ruined.

Answer 11

I used to think of they have been on a soft huge sort on the subject of alternative instructors on the comparable income. in terms of value effectiveness- they are clever while in comparison with the placement that used to exist. additionally, long term era, pension expenses are decreased.
