Teachers Dress

• Once again it comes down to effective teaching. Who in the end decides what makes an effective teacher? Ultimately it is the administrations job to determine if a teacher is effective and using due process to make sure every teacher is effective. If a chosen curriculum or dress code policy is dismissed and ineffective pedagogy persists it is totally within the rights of a principle to terminate a teacher as long as they are given due process. The dress code and participation may not be as obvious a factor in the quality of a teacher but if there is an established code, the teacher must respect it. As for the participation in organizations outside of school it is a right for the teacher but also a right for students not to be subject to disruption due to such an association. (Chapter 4 page 60)
• In the end, what ever happens due process must always be observed.
