When school administrators put out a job listing, they look for the best around to teach children. Before you get an opportunity to speak with a school official in person, you need to show what you are capable of on your resume. Administrators should get a good feel of your qualifications in an application that is only one or two pages long.
The history teacher resume sample provided here shows required information for each section. From the Professional Summary to the Education section, everything should be fully optimized for the career you hope to get. For jobseekers who require additional assistance, a resume builder is also available.
