Teaching Assistant / Paraprofessional Resume Template
For a teaching assistant / paraprofessional resume, we recommend Education Approachable: Calm, readable serif with a soft green accent — built for teaching, academic support, and education roles.
Why this template fits a teaching assistant / paraprofessional resume
A teaching assistant / paraprofessional resume needs to prove reliable classroom support that measurably helps students who need extra attention — Education Approachable keeps the focus on that with a clean accent-bar section style that reads clearly to both a hiring manager and the ATS software screening for Classroom behavior support and Small-group instruction.
All 25 Rezumz templates are single-column and ATS-safe by default — this one is just the best starting point for this specific field. You can switch templates any time while editing.
What to put in the template
Order the sections as summary, work experience, skills, then education and certifications. Put your most recent and most relevant role first. Keep it to one page unless you have a long career.
Skills to fill into the skills section
Must-have: Classroom behavior support, Small-group instruction, IEP/504 plan implementation, Student progress documentation, Teacher collaboration.
If you have them: Paraprofessional certification, Special education experience, Bilingual classroom support.
Example bullet points to copy the shape of
- Supported small-group instruction for 6-8 students below grade level, helping 5 reach grade-level benchmarks within a semester
- Implemented IEP accommodations for 4 students consistently across daily classroom activities
- Documented student behavior and progress data used by the lead teacher for quarterly IEP reviews
Replace the figures with your own. The layout does the formatting, but the bullets do the convincing.
Does the template matter to an ATS?
Less than people think. Every Rezumz template is single-column with real text, so applicant tracking systems read it correctly. What matters more is that the keywords above appear in your skills and in your bullets.
