IdentityCommunication Skills
Writing: Teachers write lesson plans, leave written comments on students' work, and send home notes to parents. Your resume itself is the most important way you demonstrate your writing skills to a potential employer, but you should also include items in your resume that speak to your writing ability.
Speaking: Beyond lecturing students, teachers must speak with parents during meetings and communicate with administrators as necessary, so strong verbal communication skills should show up on your resume.
Listening: Remember that communicating with students is not a one-way street. The best teachers know how to listen to their students, have open-ended discussions, and encourage questions.
