What should a teacher resume include?
Schools in India screen teacher resumes for eligibility first: the right degree, B.Ed., and a CTET or state TET pass for the grades you want to teach. After that, principals look for board experience, classes and subjects handled, results you contributed to, and evidence of activity-based teaching, parent communication and co-curricular responsibility.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Lesson planning
- Subject expertise
- Formative and summative assessment
- Classroom management
- Differentiated instruction
From our sample resumes:
- Pooja lists CTET Paper I and K-TET right under certifications, so a primary school coordinator can confirm eligibility for classes 1 to 5 immediately.
- Her internship bullets show real classroom volume and a reading corner she built, which proves practice beyond the B.Ed. syllabus.
