The state teaching license and grade-level experience come first, then instruction methods and classroom tools. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.
Licenses and certifications
- State Teaching License
Tools, systems and languages
- Google Classroom
Skills and methods

How to use them
- Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
- State the license fully: "Professional Educator License (PEL), Illinois, Secondary Mathematics"
- Give grade level and class size in each role
- Name the assessments and programs you used by their published names
- Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
