Primary teacher resume template

Primary school hiring reads eligibility first — Praxis II, M.Ed, classes handled — then proof that little classrooms actually run: attendance, reading levels, parent communication. This format places qualification lines where a principal looks first and keeps every claim countable.

Not sure which skills to list? Teacher skills recruiters look for, with proof lines

Frequently asked questions

Is CVLoom really free?

Yes — editing, all 283 templates, and PDF download are free, with no watermark and no card. There is no account at all: no signup, no login, nothing to cancel.

Will my PDF have selectable text for ATS systems?

Yes. Exports are generated by a real browser engine, so the PDF has true selectable text, embedded fonts, and clickable links — the things resume parsers need.

Can I switch templates without retyping anything?

Yes — your content and the design are stored separately, so switching templates re-flows the same content instantly and losslessly. Try every one of them.

Should Praxis II appear before experience on a primary teacher resume?

Yes. Eligibility is the gate in school hiring — put Praxis II/TET, M.Ed and the classes you can teach directly under your name, then let experience prove what you did with them.
