English Teacher

Northridge Middle School • Dayton, OH

Aug 2018 - Jun 2021

Section by section

What each part of this resume is doing.

Summary

The summary names the grade band and the texts taught, because an English Teacher who has run a senior literature course is being considered for a different opening than one teaching middle school reading.

Experience

Each entry says what students could do by the end of the year, not which novels were assigned. Every English Teacher assigned novels, so the reading list is not the evidence.

Skills

Skills name the writing framework and the assessments used, since an English Teacher joining a department is expected to teach into a rubric that already exists.

credentials

The endorsement is listed with its grade span, because an English Teacher certified for middle grades cannot be placed on a high school section however strong the record.

Before you apply

What K-12 hiring committees look for

A department chair hiring an English Teacher is thinking about who will grade a hundred essays a fortnight and still return them. Evidence that you moved writing scores matters more than a favourite unit.

There are 263 open English Teacher roles, concentrated in New York, with a median of $47,000.

Common questions

Writing a english teacher resume.

Grade band, course titles, the writing framework you teach into, and what moved. There are 263 open English Teacher roles to match it against.

Briefly, and only where the course is unusual. An English Teacher listing a full reading list spends the page on something every applicant can also claim.

Increasingly yes for middle grades, and some states now require it outright. Name yours with the issuing state, since most English Teacher postings sit in New York.
