Helpful Hints 
 
A link to your digital 
portfolio is encouraged. 
 
Concentration areas 
should be included for 
elementary education 
majors.  Some secondary 
education majors will 
have concentration areas 
or options (such as 
social studies).  Special 
education majors may be 
more specific about 
degree and licensure 
such as (Special 
Education, Mild 
Interventions). 
 
The  teaching experience 
section includes student 
teaching, substitute 
teaching, practicum, 
tutoring, and more. 
 
Always list your student 
teaching experience and 
at least one practicum 
experience.   Special 
education and early 
childhood majors should 
list two student teaching 
experiences  
 
Your student teaching 
experience should 
include bullet points.  
Include information 
about grade level, 
classroom management 
techniques, technology, 
communication with 
parents, lesson plans, 
differentiated instruction, 
etc.   
 
You may have multiple 
practicum experiences.  
If you don’t have room to 
list them all, concentrate 
on the more relevant 
experiences for your 
upper-level classes such 
as EDEL 350.   
 
Keep your résumé to two 
pages.
