Why ATS matters for this role
- Many districts use applicant tracking systems that filter by certification and subject.
- Postings list exact terms like "differentiated instruction", "IEP", "classroom management", or a state credential. Use the same wording.
- Graphics, columns, and photos tend to parse poorly in these systems.
What to highlight
- State certification or credential, with subject and grade band
- Grade levels and subjects taught, plus class sizes
- Student growth or assessment results you can share
- Curriculum, technology, and intervention programs you used
- Extracurriculars, coaching, or leadership roles
