Media Frames Regarding Teacher Dress: Implications for Career and Technical Education Teacher Preparation
The purpose of this study was to explore teacher dress in United States schools as presented in the newspaper. Twenty-nine articles were examined to answer three questions. Results revealed: (a) the newspaper provided four contexts for processing information about teacher dress –
roles, control, impression management, and educational learning environment; (b) three categories of teacher dress were identified as inappropriate dress for teachers: casual dress, sexually revealing dress, and dress that violated conventional norms; and (c) 28 articles contained opinions
about a dress code policy for teachers – proponents (most frequently school boards and administrators), opponents (most frequently teachers and their unions), or unspecified (most frequently school boards and administrators). Implications for CTE teacher preparation based on National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) dispositions are included with special consideration for CTE learning and work environments.
