Everyday Etiquette for Educators

General Etiquette for Professionals

Page 4
Educators are often held to a higher standard of conduct than other professions. The reason for this is that parents and guardians entrust them with one of the most important parts of their lives- their children. This means that they expect you to show the qualities and attributes that comprise a quality childcare provider.
​
Professionalism isn’t an intrinsic skill that each professional person is born with. Instead, it is a set of competencies or skills that are expected of a professional person. Honing in those skills and competencies take time and training. Professionalism also requires that a person dress, act, and train appropriately in order to meet a certain set of standards set by their field.

Part of being a teacher is looking like one. In order to gain the respect of students, their families, and coworkers, educators must present themselves in a way that projects professionalism.

Here are some suggestions for looking your best in the classroom:
  • Your clothes should be free of holes, tears, or stains.
  • Clothing should not be tight, revealing or low-cut
  • Skirts and dresses should be knee length or longer
  • Wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes
  • Hair should remain a natural color
  • Makeup should be tasteful and not distracting
  • Personal hygiene should be maintained
  • Know and follow the specific dress regulations of your center
Coursework is submitted to us live, as you complete each page. It is not necessary to "save" before logging off.

You may choose to use the checklist provided to track your progress, and click on the link in the menu to return to where you left off in the training. Or, if you proceed through the course in order, instead of using the checklist, you may keep track of your progress by just making a note of which page you are on and use the menu to return to where you left off.
