These are original writing prompts, not claims about your experience. Replace the brackets and keep only statements you can support.
TASK → ACTION → EVIDENCE
Make the work specific.
A useful starting structure is what you did + how you did it + the purpose or evidence you can explain. For example, replace a broad line like “Helped students” with a truthful description of the lesson, support or assessment you handled. Add a number only when you can verify it. A clear description of the work is better than an invented percentage.
Keep your teaching license and relevant classroom experience easy to find. CU Boulder’s career guidance also recommends identifying the teaching context and concrete instruction, assessment or collaboration examples. Read the university’s teaching résumé guidance.
Keep student names, individual records, sensitive identifiers and private family information out of the examples you share. This page has no résumé upload or personal-information fields.
