Why this one works

Three things this resume gets right.

1

Grade, size, evidence

28 students, 71% vs 54%, 9 below benchmark. A principal can picture the room.

2

IEP/504 only if true

If you ran those plans, say so. If a tool offers to add them, refuse.

3

One column

A headshot-and-sidebar Canva file is a poster. A lot of districts parse uploads.

Copy-and-adapt

Teacher bullets that actually land.

Swap in your grade, class size, and the evidence you have, not a mission statement.

  • Taught 5th-grade ELA to 28 students; 71% hit grade-level on the spring district read vs 54% the year before.
  • Built a 6-week small-group routine for 9 students below benchmark; 7 of 9 moved a band.
  • Mentored a first-year teacher through their first formal observation cycle.
  • Ran the after-school literacy club (18 kids, two days a week) without extra budget, just the library cart.
Avoid these

Common teacher resume mistakes.

  • A philosophy paragraph instead of the room you ran.
  • Listing every PD session ever.
  • Canva two-column with a headshot in districts that parse uploads.

Teacher resume FAQ

Quick answers.

Photo?

Usually no for US K-12 applications. Follow the district.

How long should a teacher resume be?

One page unless you have a long specialty or leadership history that is results, not every PD session.

Will this write my philosophy statement for free?

No. Free is you in the editor. The Pass is the AI, and it still won’t invent an IEP caseload.
