How to adapt this teacher example

Keep the structure. Replace the substance with your own scope, decisions, and results.

Use your school's own data points

Departmental baselines, cohort averages, and attendance figures are available internally. Compare your classes to those, never to national statistics you cannot source.

Show breadth across the whole role

Balance teaching results with pastoral work, extracurriculars, and duties like safeguarding training. Schools hire for the full role, not just exam outcomes.

Name your qualification status clearly

State your teaching qualification, subject, and induction status exactly as they are. Schools verify against official records before any offer.

Questions

Teacher resume FAQ

How should a teacher show results without breaching student privacy?

Use aggregate, anonymised measures: cohort pass rates against school baselines, progress-gap changes, attendance percentages. Never reference an identifiable student or a class small enough to identify one.

What belongs on a teacher resume besides classroom teaching?

Curriculum work, mentoring, extracurricular leadership, pastoral responsibility, and training. Schools shortlist for contribution to the whole community, so give these their own bullets.

How long should a teaching resume or CV be?

Two pages is standard for an experienced teacher. Lead with the current role and exam-year evidence, and compress early career posts to a line or two each.
