How to Craft an Outstanding Teacher Resume
Introduction
With a significant shortage of teachers in the United States, the demand for educators has never been higher. While this trend benefits teachers entering the job market, competition remains fierce for the most sought-after positions, especially in English, Social Science, Humanities, and Elementary grades. A well-crafted resume can make all the difference. Here’s how to make yours stand out.
Educational and Licensure Qualifications
Highlight Your Academic Achievements
Include essential details about your teaching or academic degrees, such as the school name, graduation year, and degree. Mention honors, grants, scholarships, or fellowships you received during your studies.
Experienced Teachers
List any continuing education courses or seminars. This shows potential employers that you are committed to maintaining and enhancing your skills.
New Graduates or Limited Experience
Include related education courses and completed student teaching or mentorship rotations. If your GPA is impressive, proudly display it.
Licensure Details
Clearly state the state(s) and subject area(s) in which you are licensed to teach, along with the effective date of your license.
Teaching Expertise and Key Skills

Your resume should quickly highlight keywords that summarize your teaching experience. Dedicate a section to your teaching expertise and key skills.
