In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may have more flexibility in your attire than previous generations of teachers—a male teacher may not be expected to wear a jacket and tie, for instance. No matter the dress code (or lack thereof) at your school, though, focus on maintaining a professional look. Come to work looking the part of a teacher, not trying to dress like your students.  Your clothing doesn’t have to be stuffy and buttoned-up, but aim for modest, clean, wrinkle- and damage-free clothes. You might pair a skirt or slacks with a blouse or sweater, for instance, or wear slacks and a collared shirt with either a sweater or a jacket and perhaps a tie. When it comes to personal grooming, try not to look like you just rolled out of bed or like you’re heading out to a club. Students and the community at large will see you as a teacher even when you’re not working, so make sure you represent your school and profession well in your daily life. Be someone who others can respect no matter the situation.  To name an extreme example, getting into drunken brawls on your free time will cause community members to lose respect not only for you, but perhaps also for the profession at large. Don’t bad-mouth the school or gossip about school employees or students. Social media can be a great way for you to connect with students, parents, and colleagues, but it can also be a gateway to unprofessional or even inappropriate behavior. You should keep your personal and professional social media profiles separate, and keep stringent privacy settings for each.  As a general rule of thumb, don’t say anything on social media that you wouldn’t say in the classroom. Resist the temptation to get overly chatty or to overshare on social media. Retain a degree of professional distance in your dealings with students and others in your capacity as a teacher. Don't post photos of your students on social media without their consent and their parent or guardian's consent. Check if your school has social media guidelines or policies in place. Check your planner the evening before and get ready for the following day. Professional teachers plan thoroughly for every lesson and class. Then, they stick to their work program and assessment schedule.  This ensures that syllabus content is covered, and also the necessary skills for their students' longer-term success in their specific subject or learning area. A professional teacher’s workday doesn’t end with the school bell at the end of the day, and it always starts before the morning bell the next day. A professional teacher understands the need to start the day well, every day. The first impression you make each morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. Arrive early enough that you have time to get all your papers and lesson plans in order, and so you can get yourself mentally prepared to start the day right. True professionals, in any field, embrace the corporate identity and values, and model these for the clients. In the case of a teacher, that means being a “team player” with your fellow teachers and the school administration, and projecting this shared focus to your students. Even if you have doubts or differences of opinion with the corporate identity or procedures at your school, don’t let this bleed into your teaching. Professionals keep their work up to date and plan ahead. If you’re always pushing deadlines back or making promises you can’t keep, you’ll lose respect in the eyes of your students and peers. When it comes to grading, a 3-day rule of thumb is a good starting point for shorter assignments and non-essay tests. For longer assignments, stick to a 2-week turnaround. If you take too long to hand back tests and so on, the students may lose interest in the task and their results by the time you return their work. Don’t be a doomsayer and throw cold water on new ideas or suggestions for positive change. Instead of vocalizing negative thoughts like "That will never work at this school," respectfully note any concerns you may have but show your willingness to try out something different. Don’t immediately discount suggestions or new ideas from students as well. Let them know that their opinions and perspectives are valued. Take continuing education courses to keep yourself mentally stimulated. Your renewed enthusiasm for your subject will be rewarded by increased student interest and enthusiasm for the subject itself.  A true professional--as a teacher or in any other career--never stops learning. Also make sure you keep abreast of education policy and legislation. Professional teachers are constantly learning and sharing what they know. Learn about the latest pedagogical theories and practices, as well as the tools of the trade. Be open to trying new ideas to help your students learn and thrive. Just as you learn from other teachers, they can learn from you. Share what you learn from your experiences and classes with other teachers, especially those on your team.
Summary: Project a neat and clean look with your clothes and styling. Behave professionally in public. Maintain professionalism on social media. Prepare thoroughly for each day of teaching. Come to work on time every day. Follow the procedures and the protocols expected at your school. Don’t miss deadlines or fall behind on your grading. Embrace change and give new methods a chance. Seek new subject knowledge to share with your students. Attend professional development courses to gain new skills.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you've started to heal the cracks in your skin, your best bet is to start a long term routine to prevent more cracks. Unfortunately, this is a skin problem that is better to focus on preventing then on fixing once it occurs. Whatever moisturizing routine you use, just make sure that it's something you can keep up long-term and use regularly, since this is the best way to prevent future issues. Lanolin, which is a wax-like substance made from wool-producing animals, is nature's best way of protecting skin. Used consistently, you should be able to apply it every other day or every third day and still see the same soft skin. When you first start using it, apply it liberally at night and give it time to soak into your skin. Bag Balm is the most common brand of lanolin product in the US and can be found at most drug stores. If not using lanolin, you'll want to analyze what moisturizing products you do buy. You'll want products with the right kinds of ingredients, to guarantee that you get the right effect. Many moisturizers will include lots of natural, healthy sounding ingredients but they won't actually help your skin very much. You'll want to instead look for these in the ingredients list:  Humectants, which draw moisture into your skin. Examples include glycerin and lactic acid. Emollients, which protect your skin. Examples include lanolin, urea, and silicon oils. Every time you bath or expose your cracked skin to water, you're washing away natural oils which protect your skin. Apply at least a light level of moisturizer after every shower, as well as any time you soak your feet. If you can, apply a thick layer of moisturizer before going to bed at night. This will give your feet time to really soak all of that healing product in, while making sure that you're not bothered by squishy skin. Cover your skin thickly in moisturizer and then put on a layer to protect the moisturizer while it soaks in. If the cracks are on your feet, use socks. If the cracks are on your hands, use gloves.
Summary:
Make a long term moisturizing routine. Find a lanolin cream. Look for the right ingredients in other moisturizers. Apply a light layer directly after bathing or soaking. Apply a thick layer of moisturizer at night.
