Teacher resume example & writing guide
School districts read teacher resumes for credentials first, classroom results second. Lead with your certification and grade levels, then prove impact with student outcomes.
What to include on a teacher
- State your certification, subject endorsements, and grade levels in the first two lines.
- Quantify class sizes, test score improvements, and program growth wherever possible.
- Include technology you actually teach with — Google Classroom, Canvas, smart boards.
- Show leadership beyond the classroom: committees, clubs, curriculum design, mentoring.
- Tailor the summary to the district's mission statement — hiring committees notice.

Sample bullet points
Adapt these to your own numbers — the structure (action, scope, result) is what matters:
- Raised state reading assessment pass rates from 71% to 86% across two academic years (Grade 4)
- Designed and launched an after-school STEM club that grew to 45 students in one semester
- Mentored 3 student teachers through certification, all hired into full-time district roles
