12. Professional Attire….. Practicum/field work in the public school setting requires appropriate professional attire. You are a pre-service professional when you are in the field, not a college student. As you will begin this work in your 2123 course, you should plan appropriately for this. Purchase khaki, navy or black pants and some shirts that look professional- button up with collars- so that you will be ready for your field work/practicum in the school setting when that time arrives.
