A template for educators who inspire and make a measurable difference.
Dedicated Mathematics Teacher with 5 years of experience in state secondary schools. PGCE qualified with a track record of raising GCSE pass rates and making complex concepts accessible through technology.
Teaching CVs need to show student impact, not just classroom management. Head teachers want to see exam result improvements, innovative teaching methods, extra-curricular contributions, and evidence of professional development. If your GCSE pass rates improved or your students achieved above national average, those numbers belong in your first bullet point.
Lesson planning, classroom management, differentiation, formative and summative assessment, behaviour management, safeguarding (Level 2+), educational technology (Desmos, GeoGebra, Google Classroom), data analysis (pupil progress tracking), and pastoral care. Include your PGCE, QTS status, and any specialist training.
Writing a CV that reads like a job description. "Taught Year 9 Mathematics" tells us nothing about your effectiveness. Instead: "Raised GCSE grade 4+ pass rate from 62% to 78% over 2 academic years." Also do not neglect extra-curricular contributions — running clubs, organising events, and leading trips show commitment beyond the timetable.
Two pages maximum. Lead with your teaching experience, then education and qualifications. Include a brief "Professional Development" section listing recent courses and training. Many schools use ATS systems, so keep formatting simple and avoid tables or text boxes.
