Applying For Teaching Jobs

applying for teaching jobs, teacher resume, teaching interviews, teaching portfolioNo Comments


If want to apply for teaching jobs, many times you’ll need a professional teaching portfolio. But it shouldn’t be difficult to create your portfolio if you’ve been keeping track of your successful lesson plans and projects. During the teacher interview, you should be prepared to share your insights on what makes a lesson successful, your approach to handling discipline problems and your methods for engaging the class.

If you’re a new or beginning teacher, make sure you also ask about mentoring and/or support systems for new teachers. If the principal doesn’t have an answer, that should be a red flag. All new teachers MUST have some kind of support during their first years. This is not merely a request, this is a necessity.

The principal does not care so much as to why seating chart “A” is better than seating chart “B” - but is interested in knowing your method for preventing discipline problems - monitoring students’ progress and your systems of effective classroom management.

Your professional teaching portfolio only needs to include information in the following categories:

Lesson Plans including different levels. You can also include pictures of students at different lessons/activities/trip.

Projects or performance tasks

Your teacher resume and recommendations

Awards (for your teaching, if any)

Professional Organizations (teaching related ones you currently belong to)

Special Note: You can view a sample teaching resume in the FREE teaching resources of this blogsite.

Good Luck and have a great teaching week!
