Section by section

What each part of this resume is doing.

Summary

The summary names the grade band and class sizes, because a Physical Education Teacher taking sixty students in a shared gym is describing a different job from one with a single class.

Experience

Each entry says what was assessed, not which sports were played. A Physical Education Teacher who can show a fitness or skills assessment is answering the question a rota of activities does not.

Skills

Skills name adapted instruction and assessment alongside the activities, since a Physical Education Teacher is expected to include students with a range of physical needs in the same period.

credentials

The teaching licence is listed above any coaching certificate, because a Physical Education Teacher is hired on the licence and the coaching is the stipend attached to it.

Before you apply

What K-12 hiring committees look for

A principal hiring a Physical Education Teacher is also filling a coaching vacancy and thinking about supervision at lunch. Say which sports you can coach, because it often decides the appointment.

Yes, and near the top. Many postings pair the teaching line with a coaching stipend, so a Physical Education Teacher who can fill both is a cheaper hire for the school.

Often, since health is timetabled alongside physical education in many schools. Name it if you hold it, as most Physical Education Teacher postings sit in New York.
