I’ve been going back and forth from guest teaching at the elementary school and at the high school… talk about a diverse set of skills and strategies, ha. I’m slowly getting better at “code switching” between the two. With that, the style at each of the buildings is definitely really different. We can find learning in anything. For me, it’s been a lot of teacher fashion learning (on top of the obvious, oh my gosh, I’m working with high schoolers… type of skills I’m developing).
As well as doing a lot of learning from our virtual teaching community. Like how teacher dresscodes are much more enforced and “professional business attire” at schools that have mandated uniforms for students vs. schools that don’t have uniform mandates.
I’ve never worked at a school where students wore uniforms and to be honest, didn’t realize that a large portion of public-school districts have uniform policies. Does your school have a uniform policy? For whatever reason I’ve been associating uniforms with private schools my entire career. In Washington state, I can’t name a single public school that has uniforms… only a few of the private schools. According to google, about 20% of public schools wear school uniforms.
Life is a constant learning journey. I never would have guessed.

I’m trying my best to balance it all but the job search for next year has been consuming a lot of my energy 🙂 Things are looking really good and I’m super excited for what’s to come. In a few weeks, I’m hoping to be more consistent. Thank you all for your patience and support.
