FAQs
- What goes on a teacher resume?
- Certificate, endorsements, grades/subjects, measurable student outcomes, and EdTech.
- Length?
- One page for early career; two pages with leadership (chair, mentor) is fine.
- Photo?
- Follow the country. US public districts usually do not want a photo.
- GPA?
- New teachers can include it. Drop after a few years in the classroom.
- GitHub?
- No. Link a teaching portfolio or unit plan instead.
- Projects vs jobs?
- Classroom jobs first. Curriculum writing can be a bullet under the role.
