Identifying information. Like other resumes, you must include your full name, address, phone number, and email address at the top of your resume. Make sure it's big enough to read easily. Objective. This is especially important when applying at large school districts because they receive hundreds of resumes and need to quickly identify which pile your resume should be added to. Many teachers—especially at the elementary level—are certified for a broad range of ages and subjects. If an employer can’t decide whether you want to teach sixth grade social studies or kindergarten, she may toss your resume and move on the next, clearer resume. Be precise: “Seeking a sixth grade language arts teaching position.”Teaching experience. Start with your current or most recent teaching experience and work your way back chronologically. If you’re a new teacher, your student teaching experience—as well as any substitute teaching experience—will make up this section.Education. Again, list this in reverse chronological order, and make sure to include any continuing education or professional development you’ve participated in. If you’re a new teacher, put this section above teaching experience.Certifications. You can’t teach if you aren’t certified, and employing someone who isn’t qualified is every administrator’s worst nightmare. Make it easy for them by putting your certifications and endorsements front and center. If it’s in the works, put the anticipated date of your endorsement.Career-related awards. If you’ve been honored with a Golden Apple teaching award or some other education-centered award during your career, make sure you include it. Outside validation goes a long way with school districts.Associations and memberships. List the professional organizations to which you belong. For new teachers especially, these associations demonstrate your seriousness about your career. The following sections are potential add-ins, depending on your situation.
