credentials and context

License, grade, subject, and class size.

Each teaching role: school, district, grade level, subject, class size, demographic context (Title I, ESL, gifted). 'Grade 8 Math, Title I district, 4 sections × 32 students, 38% ELL' is the line a principal scans for.

Teaching license at the top under the name. State, certification subjects, expiration. Add endorsements (ESL, special ed, gifted, reading specialist) on the same block.

student outcomes

Quantify what students did, not what you taught.

Strong: 'Lifted 8th grade Algebra I proficiency rate from 54% to 71% over two academic years across 4 sections (n=128)'. Weak: 'Taught Algebra I to 8th graders'.

Other outcomes that work: AP exam pass rates, IB scores, district benchmark improvements, college enrollment for college-prep programs, student-teacher conferences led, parent engagement scores.

frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Q ·
What goes at the top of a teacher resume?

Name, teaching license line (state, subjects, endorsements), and a one-line summary naming your grade level, subject area, and years in the classroom.

Q ·
Do classroom outcomes really belong on a teacher CV?

Yes. Proficiency rate changes, AP/IB pass rates, and district benchmark improvements are the strongest signals for hiring committees in 2026, second only to formal references.

Q ·
Should I list every professional development workshop?

No. Group ongoing PD at the bottom by theme (literacy, math instruction, classroom management). Highlight credentialed programs (National Board Certification, Teach For America, district teacher leader programs) separately.

Q ·
What format works best for teacher resumes?

Reverse-chronological, one to two pages, Licenses at the top, classroom roles in the middle, Education at the bottom unless you're a new grad. Include a brief Professional Development block.

Q ·
Should adjunct or higher-ed teaching go on a K-12 CV?

Yes, as its own block titled 'Higher Education Teaching' or 'College Teaching'. Lists the institution, course, level, and class size per appointment.
