TLI: Dress Codes Aren't Just For Students Anymore

08.09.12 | Cecil Van Houten

Dress codes used to be aimed at school students but increasingly today they are directed at teachers as well. Many school districts are tightening up what is allowable as younger teachers, to whom tattoos, piercings and very casual clothing are not considered unprofessional. What is professional? How does it affect students and the education process? What kind of message does it send? And when teachers and administrators clash, how do the teachers unions get involved? Dr. Ralph Kerr and Cecil discuss all the ramifications of this in this week’s Issues in Education. www.teachingandlearninginstitute.org and www.fln.org/media
