How to write this resume

Include your certification

State certification, grade levels, and subject endorsements should be clearly visible. It's often a legal requirement.

Show student outcome data

'18% improvement in test scores' or '78% AP pass rate' demonstrates your effectiveness. Use data wherever possible.

Mention grade levels and class sizes

Teaching 150 students is different from 20. Context matters — always include grade levels and approximate class sizes.

Include extracurriculars

Clubs, coaching, committees — these show your commitment beyond the classroom and are often expected.

Key skills to include

  • Lesson planning and curriculum development
  • Differentiated instruction
  • Classroom management
  • Student assessment and grading
  • Educational technology (Google Classroom, Canvas)
  • IEP/504 compliance and accommodations
  • Data-driven instruction
  • Parent communication and conferences
  • Extracurricular program management
  • State teaching certification

Common mistakes

  • Not listing certification and grade-level endorsements
  • Being vague about student outcomes — include specific data
  • Only describing what you taught, not how well students learned
  • Forgetting to mention technology integration
