As teachers, it's important to be prepared for both application for job positions and to anticipate expectations for how teachers present themselves. In regards to your resume, it's vital that you rank the most important information from top to bottom, and avoid repetition when describing your qualifications for the job. On top of that, your resume should fill up the page, but not exceed a single page. Your resume is evidence supporting why you should get a job. In terms of your cover letter, you need to provide evidence that you understand the community in which the position is located. You don't want to avoid answering a question or claim you don't know, because interviewers can detect when your confidence waivers. Lastly, you should do your homework on the school; it makes a solid impression when you know the challenges and successes of the school, especially if you aim to improve those challenges.
In terms of what you wear, the younger/less experienced you are, the nicer you should dress. It's important for your visual aesthetic to exude confidence and authority. If it doesn't, you're more likely to experience a lack of respect from peers, students, and parents in the district. If you're going to treat teaching like a profession, you should dress to fit the part.
