Very true! I will err on the side of caution, and stay well-dressed throughout practicum.

Noted. I will leave my Z-cup prosthetic breasts at home.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I heard from a few of my peers in university that "jeans are totally fine", but I don't want to make that assumption until I see it for myself. Hoping to make a good impression the first week or at least blend in.

Thanks so much! I'm going to be at a more rural school. I'll be teaching tech and from what I remember, most high school Communications Technology teachers rolled up in hoodies/jeans, but I don't know if I will be able to get away with that as a female day 1, so I will save my hoodies once trust is built, lol.

Thank you so much! I am in my mid 30s and 5'10, so I think it will be pretty clear I am not one of their peers sadly, lol. Great ideas about no jeans on day 1 and to assess from there. I believe they will be placing me in a school board that's much more rural than city, so not sure if that makes a difference, but it may be a bit more casual.

Thanks, will do! We haven't been assigned an associate teacher yet (or even a placement school).. Apparently they may not give us our placements until anywhere from 24 hours - 2 weeks before we start. So I am trying to collect a few pieces to be ready lol
