Section by section

What each part of this resume is doing.

Summary

The summary names the service model and the proficiency levels served, because an ESL Teacher pushing into content classes is doing different work from one running a newcomer programme.

Experience

Each entry says how students moved through proficiency levels, since that is the number a district reports. An ESL Teacher describing lesson design leaves the committee to guess at the outcome.

Skills

Skills name the proficiency framework and the screener your state uses, since an ESL Teacher is expected to run identification and reclassification without being taught the system.

credentials

The endorsement is listed separately from the base licence, because an ESL Teacher without it cannot be counted toward required service however much experience they hold.

Before you apply

What K-12 hiring committees look for

There are 167 open ESL Teacher roles, concentrated in New York, with a median of $46,320.
