Assistant Teacher Resume Sample

This teaching assistant resume sample was written for someone changing careers to education. She is a new teacher with no experience.

We developed this resume using a functional format, which can be used for career changers or new teachers. A functional format places most of the emphasis of the resume on the applicant's skills and accomplishments and less on professional experience. So, for someone who lacks relevant assistant teaching job experience, this can be the best option for some job seekers. Learning more about different resume formats is helpful to decide what is best for your background and career objectives.

Teachers Resume Writing Process

It's important to have a strong resume profile, as we wrote in this teacher's assistant resume, to create interview interest. Underneath her job target title is a tagline, "Dedicated to the safety and education of young children", which grabs the reader's attention. The professional profile details her related skills, educational philosophy, and ability to establish a positive rapport with all students, staff and parents.

Jenny, a mother, recently completed a certificate in Early Childhood Development and fulfilled a practical student requirement. Aside from this teacher related experience, she held part-time, non-relevant paid jobs. Because she has no experience teaching, her resume focuses only on the practicum experience she gained.

Her education and practical experience is showcased to make them stand out. Her practical work experience has been divided into three sections based on the skill the bullet point demonstrates. The three skill sets used are strong and relevant to be a teacher's assistant: accomplishments, planning and organizing, and parent communication and teamwork.

Incorporating a powerful testimonial or quote from her time as a student teacher helps to solidify what she can offer a school district. This teaching assistant resume uses color and an appropriate graphic to draw the reader's eye and focus his/her attention.

In this example of an assistant teacher resume we show Jenny's enthusiasm for education and compassion toward young children. It also has visually appealing formatting with an apple icon at the top left-corner, a striking border, and the use of shading and colored fonts to highlight certain sections.
