Interview Outfit Ideas for Teachers

Ah February, the time of year teachers start thinking about next year? Maybe? Too soon? Well I know in my part of the country teaching positions are posted as early as possible and interviews begin in March if not February. I know when my principal announced he was leaving it prompted a flurry of applications elsewhere for some. Whether you are a student-teacher applying for their first job, a teacher looking to move up to coach or administration or a spouse who is finding themselves looking for a new job whatever the reason teacher interviews can be nerve-wracking. 
What questions will they ask me?

Interview Outfit Ideas for Teachers Tips

Tip 1 – Look professional – you don’t need to wear a suit but leggings are also a no! 
Tip 2 – Be Comfortable but not Sloppy – you don’t want anything that’s tight or makes you uncomfortable like new shoes that pinch or haven’t been broken in. Make sure it’s been ironed and looks nice.
Tip 3 – Wear Something You Feel GREAT in! If going out and getting a new outfit will help you feel confident go for it but you don’t NEED to!
Your educational philosophy, your passion for your subject matter, your heart for kids that is what matters!

Teacher Interview
Some interview outfit ideas for teachers are:
  • structured skirt or pants – I like black but grey or brown works as well White shirt
  • Cardigan – let’s be honest this is a teacher staple
  • Basic shoes that match – sensible heel if you want
