Teacher resume example

School hiring teams scan for certification, grade band and clear evidence of student progress.

  • Student growth data, assessment scores or intervention results

Mistakes to avoid

Frequently asked questions

Should I include student teaching on my resume?

Yes if you are early-career. Treat it like a real role: school, grade band, and one or two concrete results.

How long should a teacher resume be?

One page is ideal for most K–12 teachers. Use a second page only for extensive leadership, coaching or publications.
