Skills to list on a teacher resume
Teaching
Tools
Only list what you can talk about in an interview, and use the same words as the job post so screening software finds them.
Tips for your teacher resume
- Name the grade levels, subjects and number of sections you handle.
- Show student results: assessment scores, passing rates, competition placements.
- Include advisory, coaching and committee work, since schools hire for more than classroom teaching.
- For DepEd applications, also follow the required forms; a clear resume still helps for private schools and international posts.
Common questions
What should a teacher put on a resume with no teaching experience?+
Your license or board exam status, practice teaching with the school, grade level and subjects, plus tutoring, volunteer teaching and relevant trainings.
Do I need to list seminars and trainings?+
List the recent, relevant ones. For public school ranking, a separate list may be required, so keep the resume itself short.
How long should a teacher resume be?+
One to two pages. Use the second page only if you have several years of experience or leadership roles.
