Keep the audience academic
This example concerns university teaching, unlike the school English teacher sample. Course design, dissertation guidance and academic service therefore take priority. Follow the institution’s request for a resume, full CV and separate teaching or research statements.
Show a teaching choice
The comparative reading seminar and revised assessment criteria demonstrate course development. Explain what students were asked to do and what evidence you used to review the activity. Avoid an unsupported claim that a module transformed all student outcomes.
Do not invent a publication record
This teaching-focused resume does not include a publication list. A real academic CV should supply accurate citations, publication status and contribution details. An unpublished manuscript should not be listed as a peer-reviewed article.
