Resume Roast for Teaching Assistants

Teaching Assistant resumes usually undersell by listing help verbs: assisted, supported, helped. The teacher reading it wants specifics they can delegate to: groups you ran alone, students you tracked, behavior plans you executed, tech and grading you owned. Ran daily small-group reading for six students and logged progress data is a colleague. Assisted the teacher is an extra chair.

What Gabe checks first on a Teaching Assistant resume

Describe what you ran independently, like daily math intervention groups of 4 to 6 students with progress tracked weekly.
Name the populations and plans you supported: IEPs, 504s, behavior intervention plans, English learners. Specificity here is what schools screen for.
Include the operational load you carried, like grading, attendance, family communication logs, or classroom tech. Teachers hire TAs who remove work, so list the work you removed.

Worth knowing

Referred candidates are roughly 40 times more likely to reach an interview than cold applicants. (referral-to-interview research)
