Education resumes are read by principals and hiring committees who want to see certification, student outcomes, and evidence that you can work with the adults in a building as well as the children. The 4 examples below cover a certified elementary teacher with reading benchmark gains, a special education teacher managing a caseload with a perfect compliance record, a physical education teacher and department chair with fitness and coaching results, and an academic coordinator leading curriculum and coaching across a charter network. Each one shows how to present class sizes, proficiency gains, attendance, compliance records, and programme growth in a format an ATS can parse.
