Transition Tip #3: Focus Your Resume

Don’t lie or exaggerate, but I have seen people bury the lede so to speak and throw the faculty training they did as department head for 30+ staff every month that brought up school wide reading scores last because they didn’t think it was that big a deal compared to managing 180 struggling high schoolers in their own reading classes. Or seen them put he schoolwide gap analysis they conducted to the last bullet because the bulk of their “day to day” was teaching, developing curriculum, and grading in their classroom! Your resume isn’t what you do most as a % of your day. It’s what you’ve done that most connects to the position.
