Mistakes that cost interviews

  • Results you cannot verify
  • Philosophy statements in place of assignments
  • Student details that break privacy

Evidence that counts in teaching and education

  • Certification and endorsements with status as written
  • Grade levels, subjects and class sizes
  • Documented student results
  • Programs, curriculum or clubs built
  • Extra roles such as department lead or coach

Use what your resume already shows. A line without a number can still be strong when it says clearly what you did and where.

Elementary School Teacher, High School Teacher, Special Education Teacher, Instructional Designer, School Counselor, University Professor, and all 150 roles.

These are common reading conventions drawn from hiring guides and career services, not rules every employer follows.
