I am doing a joint education and social work degree with my uni but because it is a mix of both have found it hard to get potential work placements to get back to me as they don't understand the context of the course properly. Anyway back to the original point one high school has returned their call to me and wish discuss a placement further with me. I need to start as soon as possible as already fell behind some of the class due to not being able to secure a placement on deadline, so I'm thinking ahead and want to be prepared for when I go into the school. What do you normally wear when working in a high school? I've only worked in nurseries and one primary school but because the classes were all year 2 and under I was always just told to wear old comfortable clothes as they would be getting messy and I wouldn't be interacting with parents anyway as I'm only on work experience. I don't feel that would be the same conduct in a secondary school though (or would it? I'll be working in the art dept) I was thinking leggings and tunic tops or something but when I think of my teachers at school they always wore pant suits and such. I don't really want to dress over the top though, like I'm going for a business interview when I'm only assisting the actual teacher and it might get mucky anyway. Think I'm just panicking I won't make a good first impression and they will reject my placement when they see me. :s
