Section by section

What each part of this resume is doing.

Summary

The summary names the grade taught and the reading programme used, because a Elementary Teacher is placed against a specific grade and a curriculum the school has already bought.

Experience

Each entry pairs the grade with something that changed for the class. A Elementary Teacher teaches every subject, so listing them all says less than one result in reading or maths.

Skills

Skills name the curricula and assessments by title, since a principal reading a Elementary Teacher application is checking whether you can start without retraining.

credentials

The licence is listed with its grade span, because a Elementary Teacher certified for the wrong band cannot be placed however strong the rest of the application is.

Before you apply

Common questions

Writing a elementary teacher resume.

The grades you have taught, the reading and maths programmes you have used, and your licence band. There are 2,189 open Elementary Teacher roles to match it against.

No. Teaching all subjects is assumed at this level, so the space is better spent on what improved for one group of students under a Elementary Teacher who names it specifically.

It is the first thing checked, and bands differ by state. Put yours near the top with the state that issued it, since most Elementary Teacher postings sit in New York.
