What do schools look for in a resume?

Lead with what you are certified to teach and for which ages, because a school has to check that before anything else.
Describe results for learners, not only duties: reading levels, exam pass rates, attendance, or how many pupils you supported one to one.
Academic posts ask for a CV, not a resume. It is longer and lists publications, teaching, grants and talks in full.
