About This Lesson
Student dress codes made headlines recently because groups of students across the country began to question and protest the ways in which some of the dress codes were enforced, saying that they unfairly target girls and transgender students, are inconsistently enforced and are rooted in sexist social norms. This middle/high school lesson provides an opportunity for students to reflect on their own opinions regarding school dress codes, identify school and student needs/perspectives and design their own dress codes that satisfy both student and school needs.
