Teaching assistant resume template

Henrietta prints education directly after work experience, so an associate degree or a credit count sits high on the page instead of under a skills list. Its three-column skills grid fits the many short classroom skills an aide lists, and the black-and-grey page photocopies cleanly for a district hiring packet.

Second choice: Meridian. Meridian prints skills above experience; choose it if you are coming from outside schools and your classroom skills say more than your past job titles.

Henrietta template details and test results

Henrietta prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. Grade levels, the kind of classroom (general, inclusion, self-contained special education, preschool) and what you do there: small groups, one-to-one support, behavior plans. Add a second language if you use it with students or families.
2. Work Experience. Write what you do with students inside the teacher's plan: "run three daily phonics groups from the teacher's lesson plans". Give group sizes, the kind of support and how you record progress for the teacher or case manager.
3. Education. Associate degree, college credits or a degree in progress, with the number of credits if unfinished. Aide postings may ask about this directly, so be exact rather than writing "some college".
4. Skills. Henrietta shows a grid without group labels, so the first group should be classroom skills (guided reading, behavior data, de-escalation). Reading programs, classroom apps and communication devices come next.
5. Certifications. Your state's paraprofessional assessment, CPR and first aid, and crisis prevention training if the district gave it. ETS's ParaPro Assessment covers reading, writing and math and how you apply them in classroom instruction; ETS says many states require it for certification.
6. Volunteer work. Volunteer work with children (library reading programs, youth sports, camps) shows you choose this work outside paid hours. Two lines are enough.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.
