    As a special education teacher, you want to project both professionalism and practicality. Your clothes should reflect a formal attitude toward the interview, your professional personality, and an awareness of the physical and environmental demands of the position. I wore a blouse and slacks, with flats, but I had my interview "on the fly" in the district in which I was student teaching. If I had had more advance notice, I would have worn one of my "parent-teacher conference day" dresses (full-length skirt, colorful, loose-fitting). DEFINITELY avoid suits. You must dress toward the physical demands of the job. Wearing a business suit to the interview indicates you have no clue what the daily demands will be. In regards to building your teaching wardrobe...As a special ed teacher, you will be on your feet all day. Focus on comfortable fitting blouse-slacks combinations, with a couple of loose-fitting long informal skirts available as well. You will need a couple of better dresses for parent-teacher conference days, school board meetings, and other community activities. Have choices in footwear ranging from nicer-looking flats, to nursing-style work shoes with good arch support (focus on dark colors). Don't wear much jewelry, and keep your makeup natural. Hair should be in a simple but attractive style. You want to have minimal things for students to grab onto, such as hanging jewelry. Avoid perfume or heavily-scented soaps/lotions. Many students, especially in special ed, have allergies and/or asthma. Good luck!

    It depends where your mother lives and which school district is interviewing her. If she needs a script before going to a job interview, that's not a good sign.
