Teacher Assistant Resume Example
An entry-level teacher assistant in Cincinnati, about four years working with children, now a paraprofessional in a 1st-grade inclusion classroom.
A fictional resume written by our team. The person, employers and numbers are invented; the tools, licenses and schools are real.
Why it works
- 1
“Paraprofessional in a 1st-grade inclusion classroom, with almost 4 years working with elementary-age children. Lead 4 Fundations phonics groups a day and take weekly IEP goal data for 5 students. Ohio Educational Aide Permit and CPI trained.”
Grade, setting, the instruction this person leads and the credentials a school checks. A principal can see the fit in two sentences.
- 2
“Support a 1st-grade inclusion classroom of 24 students, 5 with IEPs, alongside the classroom and intervention teachers”
Grade, class size and IEP count up front, so the setting is clear at once.
- 3
“Lead 4 Fundations phonics groups a day of 3 to 5 students, about 300 minutes of small-group teaching a week”
Instruction counted by groups, group size and minutes, with the program named.
- 4
“14 of 18 students in those groups moved up at least one DIBELS 8 benchmark level by spring 2025”
A progress result credited to the group rather than claimed alone, using a screener the school already gives.
- 5
“Kept attendance and parent pickup records with no missed sign-outs in 18 months”
A record of care and accuracy from a non-classroom job. Schools trust aides who keep track of every child.
How it scored
We ran this example through the same free roast you can use, three times, and kept the middle result. The roast ranks a resume against a typical applicant pile and grades hard: even a resume with a number in nearly every bullet usually lands in the B range.
Copy the text
Use it as a skeleton, then replace every line with your own work. A copied bullet with someone else's numbers is the fastest way to fail an interview question.
