How to write a Teaching CV

The conventions below are the ones this field actually uses. They are what the builder applies when you pick Teaching / Education, and what the rating checks a finished CV against.

What it must contain

Leave any of these out and the CV reads as incomplete to someone who hires in this field:

Teaching Experience — Subjects, grade levels, board or curriculum, class size, and measured student outcomes.
Education

The order to put them in

Order is not cosmetic. What sits at the top is what gets read before someone decides whether to keep reading.

What to put numbers on

The single most common reason a CV in this field reads as weak is that nothing in it is measured. These are the figures that mean something here:

class size · pass rate · average score · grade levels · student count

Verbs that carry weight

Openers like “responsible for” and “worked on” describe a job description rather than a person. In this field these do the work instead:

Taught · Designed · Assessed · Mentored · Raised · Adapted · Led

Length

1 to 2 pages is normal for this field.
