Remake of Professional dress code scenario by James Townshend https://padlet.com/jamestownshend1/z7o3icfdexhfotr6 Scenario 2 - A Partner School Principal tells a Lead Teacher they recently met a colleague of theirs in the staffroom. The Principal casually comments that they were surprised by their casual dress, adding “I thought they were parent help for the day”. ​ ​ The Lead Teacher confirms that the teacher was a Middle Leader visiting to complete an appraisal observation. ​ ​ The Lead Teacher feels embarrassed at the lack of professional dress of the teacher as the schools representative. ​ en-us 2021-01-27 22:08:48 UTC 2025-12-17 23:37:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/838934090/84050001d9dc26bed39f4a1f65aa645d/Screen_Shot_2020_06_29_at_9_53_46_PM.png Perhaps the Principal is not demonstrating respect by judging the appearance of a colleague (1:3) which bears little relevance in the context of the Teacher's ability and skill https://padlet.com/jamestownshend1/z7o3icfdexhfotr6/wish/1134025764 2021-01-27 22:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jamestownshend1/z7o3icfdexhfotr6/wish/1134025764 contributing to a professional culture that supports and upholds this Code, engaging in ethical and professional relationships https://padlet.com/jamestownshend1/z7o3icfdexhfotr6/wish/1134025941 2021-01-27 22:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jamestownshend1/z7o3icfdexhfotr6/wish/1134025941 1.

In the discussion, bring it casually to find out why, maybe washing machine is broken?

As Enrolled and Outreach teachers it is our responsibility to talk with the schools we are in to know what the dress code is and expectations - this can be hard when you are going from an Early Childhood Centre to a highschool 

Middle Leader has no excuse really as they are just observing - not participating
