Teacher Resume Tips and Essentials

Posted by teacher on January 28, 2010

A Teacher resume should be a brief written document which provides principals with as much evidence as you can give them that you will be a good teacher. The strongest evidence of potential to teach is experience with children or teens. In addition, any”real world”experiences with mathematics or science may be of interest to the reader.

If you are a beginning teacher, your resume should not be more than one page. If you have two or more years’ experience in the classroom, you may need two pages to adequately convey your experiences and contributions to the classroom and school.

Four required elements in teacher Resume

Identification : Include your name, address, phone, and email address. Your name should be in the biggest print on the page, three or four sizes bigger than the other print.

Certification : List your certification and any endorsements, and the date.”Illinois Initial Secondary Certificate in Mathematics, expected December 2001. Endorsement expected in Middle Grade Mathematics.”Once you have your certificate, delete the date and list the certificate number instead, for instance : #1234567.

Teaching Experience : Use the list of action verbs located on the left of this page to describe your experiences in the classroom. They especially like to read about your classroom management skills/strategies, the teaching methods you use, any experience with students with special needs, and interactions with parents. Include job title, where you did this activity, and when (Student Teacher, DuSable High School, Spring 2001.)

Related Experience : This is where you list paid or unpaid work which gave you experiences which will help you be a better teacher–camp counselor, tutor, etc. You can also list science- or math-related employment in this section.
