4. New teachers are in
a n a w e s o m e
position in their
p r o f e s s i o n a l
careers. While
everything may
seem new and a
little scary, the fact
that new teachers
are starting with a
clean slate enables
them to start from scratch in develop-
ping their professional image. With
planning and implementation of good
habits from the get go, it is more
probable that a teacher will not have
to go back and correct mistakes that
have negatively impacted their image.
The image a teacher develops not only
impacts their own personal career but
speaks of the profession as a whole.

5. When meeting parents or new
acquaintances, it is important to
represent teachers as a whole with the
image that you create.
If you’re not a new teacher, don’t stop
reading this! Perhaps there are
changes that you’d like to make that
may improve the image you have
developed over the years. Going
back and correcting earlier mistakes
is not the worst thing in the world. You
always have more chances to enhance
your image and grow in your profes-
sion, so never think that it is too late to
start working on that.
Image is largely about appearances.
Teachers have a flexible setting in
which they work, and therefore may
find it challenging to choose
appropriate dress. Basing clothing

kids are wearing is
not recommended.
A teacher needs to
stand out from their
students and look
their part as the
leader of their
classroom.
Teacher lanyards
are a large part of the profession, as
the useful tool on which a teacher
carries keys or identification. Simple
tools, ribbon lanyards, but tools that
can enhance professional image right
out of the gate. Remember that the
impression you make on another
person is first and foremost visual.
Assessments of your capabilities is
made within the first few moments you

When you look professional, you
command the attention of your
students with just your appearance.
Wearing teacher lanyards that are
stylish and tastefully decorated sets
you apart and shows that you take
pride in your appearance. Some
teachers love to wear ribbon
lanyards decorated with bright colors
and designs that are attractive to
young children. Teaching lower
grades, this is a wonderful
professional choice, as the bright
colors show children that you are
approachable and fun.
As students get older, teacher
appearance needs to follow suit.
While it is not necessary for a teacher
to wear suit and tie in their classroom,

comfortable, should
not be worn too
casually. When
paired with a button
down shirt and
decorative ribbon
lanyards, there is a sense that the
teacher is comfortable with their
image and is in charge of their class-
room.
Clearly, the image a teacher creates
for him or herself is important. Do
teacher lanyards make all the
difference when it comes down to pro-
fessional image? No single aspect of
dress really does that. The small

jewelry, and even makeup do come
into play, however. To look like a
professional teacher, take care of your
appearance and you will be well on
your way to creating the right image.

c o n s i s t s o f
knowledge of your
s u b j e c t , g o o d
planning, organiza-
tion, and a skill for
presenting materials
in age appropriate
ways. It does not con-
sist of going out of
your way to look
runway ready. That does not mean,
however, that making strides to look
great while in front of the classroom
will not lead to increased confidence
and even a better reception from
students and staff.
Regardless of the setting you are in,
people will make snap judgments
about you based on your appearance.
While their assessment may not be the
Page 9

12. fairest or the most accurate, the point
is that first impressions do matter. As
a teacher, it is important to make a
good first impression on parents,
because the impression you make sets
the tone for future interactions. It is
important to set the right tone with
students as well as these people need
to cooperate with you on a daily basis
and they do so largely based on their
view of you as their teacher.
How do simple items like teacher
lanyards help when it comes to
making good impressions? Part of the
answer is that they simply make a
teacher feel great. When a teacher
feels good, they give their best.
Teacher lanyards are essentially the
same thing as badge lanyards one
would see just about any professional
Page 10

13. wearing these days.
Badge lanyards hold
employee identifica-
tion, electronic keys
and so on.
Since teachers wear
employee identifica-
tion, electronic keys
or keys to their class-
room on a regular
b a s i s , t e a c h e r
lanyards are a part of their standard
wardrobe. By wearing this handy tool
around your neck, you create more
convenience and organization for
yourself as you go about your day.
The type of lanyard worn can either
enhance or detract from your overall
appearance. This is where great
teacher lanyards come into play.
Whether the school year is just
Page 11

14. beginning or it is well under way, a
new lanyard can improve a teacher’s
look and show their sense of style.
The ultimate result is a better first
impression, not to mention how
looking good makes a teacher feel.
Badge lanyards are necessary in
many cases, especially for teachers.
So have some fun with this tool that is a
part of your work attire and use your
lanyard to show off some style.
Teacher lanyards come in a wide
variety of styles ranging from ribbons
to beads. Because a lanyard is a
reasonably priced item, teachers can
take the opportunity to start a
collection of cheery or chic teacher
lanyards. This way, they have many
choices to go with their outfits all
throughout the year.

s i m p l e a n d
functional tool
both in the
classroom and
out. When this is
a tool that is a
large part of your
daily routine, you can use it for its
intended purpose but also take it to
the full extent that it can go by
choosing more than a nylon rope.
With so many great styles of badge
lanyards, there is something for
everyone. It makes sense to choose a
tool that will enhance your overall
appearance when, as a teacher, you
come into contact with so many
people.
