Template Guide
Schools read a teacher's resume in a set order: are you eligible, what do you teach and to whom, and what changed in your classrooms. This page covers how to write to a layout that places certifications above experience, so eligibility is answered first.

Who this template suits
This template suits primary and secondary school teachers, subject teachers and coordinators applying to schools, where a principal or academic head reads the resume and checks eligibility before anything else.
It fits applications sent directly to a school and school chains that take applications online: it scores strongly for parseability, though a single-column layout remains the lower-risk choice for a large portal.
If you would rather your skills read as plain text, see the note on the skill squares below before choosing it.
Before and after
Every applicant for the post teaches the subject. The number of sections, the classes and a result you can support are what separate you, and board results are figures a school can check.
It says who, how often and what changed, and it describes students by the support they received rather than labelling them weak.
Schools check eligibility before reading on. Naming the paper tells them which classes you are eligible to teach, and this layout puts Certifications where they look first.
ATS compatibility
The layout scores 83 of 100 (strong) on our Template Parseability Score. It loses 11 points for its two-column body, 2 for decorative boxes and 1 for a fixed font size. Contact details still come out before work history, all 10 sample content fragments extracted intact, and Professional Experience, Education and Key Skills are headings a parser recognises.
The squares under each skill are decoration: the builder does not ask for a proficiency level, and each skill shows four to six filled squares worked out from its text. The score counts them as skill bars, which costs 3 points, and a reader may take them as ratings.
Your name, contact details, dates and every skill name are plain text; the icons and squares carry no information a parser needs.
For a large recruitment portal, a single-column ATS-friendly layout with the same content avoids the column and skill-square deductions.
Section by section
The template labels your summary Objective. Use it as a profile: subject, classes, board and years, and one strength a school will care about, in two or three lines.
Your teacher eligibility test first: CTET with the paper (Paper I for classes I to V, Paper II for classes VI to VIII) or your state TET, with the year you qualified. Then other relevant training.
For each school: the classes and subjects you teach, the board, responsibilities such as class teacher or department roles, and results you can support.
B.Ed. and your degree with years and main subjects. It sits in the left column, so keep each entry short.
List teaching skills a school can test in an interview or demo lesson, such as lesson planning or formative assessment. Remember the squares are not a rating.
With your certifications, near the top. This template shows Certifications above Professional Experience. Give the test, the paper or level, and the year you qualified.
The National Council for Teacher Education extended the validity of TET qualifying certificates to life in 2021 and asked states to apply the change, so give the year you qualified rather than an expiry date.
Yes, where the figures are yours to state and you can support them: the classes, the subject, and the change over a stated period. Avoid figures for a whole school that you did not teach.
No. The builder does not ask for a level; each skill shows four to six of six squares worked out from its text. If you do not want a reader to take them as ratings, choose a template that lists skills as text.
