Is Beatrix Ellender a real teacher

No. She is invented for this page, and so are Marchfield Secondary School and Kelvinbrook Community College. Every figure was written to show a shape, and none of it describes a real school's results.

Are exam results safe to put on a résumé

Cohort-level results you were responsible for are ordinary practice and are what a head of department is hiring for. Individual pupils are not. The example names a proportion reaching a grade across three years and no pupil at all.

What about a personal statement

A teaching application usually asks for one separately, and it is a different document. The summary here is two sentences and names the phase, the subject and the work, which is what the top of a résumé is for.

What did the checker score it

100 out of 100, with nothing open. Ten action-led lines, seven of them measurable, and 254 readable words. It measures the document's readability and evidence, and it is not an employer's applicant tracking system.

Should the teaching assistant role stay

Yes, at two lines. It explains where the classroom experience started and it costs almost nothing on the page. Early roles earn their place by being short.

Which design is this rendered in

Vellum, one of the 21 ATS-safe layouts out of 37. Its serif face suits an English department and it still extracts as one clean column.

The picture was taken by pressing this page's own Use this example door and photographing what the editor rendered.

Teaching applications are read by people who have taught, and they can tell within two lines whether a candidate has run a department or watched one. This example is written out in full so you can read those lines, and then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser makes of them. The candidate is invented. Beatrix Ellender does not exist, neither school exists, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

Cohort, intervention, outcome

A strong teaching line has three parts and usually only shows two. The example keeps all three where it can: a reading recovery group of eighteen pupils, a named intervention, and reading ages that rose by an average of fourteen months. The same pattern runs through the head of department lines, where the cohort is 420 pupils, the intervention is a rebuilt scheme of work, and the outcome is grade 4 attainment moving from 61% to 74% over three years.

Three years is stated on purpose. Attainment moves slowly and a single-year figure invites the question of what happened the year before. A range that covers your whole tenure is both more honest and harder to argue with.

The lines that are not about results

Two of the ten lines describe workload rather than outcomes: marking 340 mock papers a year, and cutting the department's marking load by four hours a fortnight. Those belong on a teacher's résumé because workload is the currency of the job, and a candidate who has reduced someone else's is describing leadership without using the word.

Mentoring is the third kind of line. Five trainees through a placement year is a countable fact about capacity, and it is the sort of thing that quietly disappears from a résumé written in a rush on a Sunday evening.

What the reading found

The door below hands this document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and lets the rules read it. The review shows every field beside the line it came from before anything reaches the editor. On this document the completeness pass found four readable sections, ten distinct skills and a substantive summary, and the qualified teacher status was stored as a certification with its year.

The Conxfolio import review after the door opened, showing Beatrix Ellender's example read into fields beside the rendered page, with the line saying it is an example — The real import review, opened by this page's own door. It names Beatrix Ellender as invented before anything is saved, and it shows every field beside the line it came from.

Nothing in that reading involves a language model. Every string a reader emits is checked in code to be a span of the document, so a section it cannot name becomes a question rather than a guess, and nothing is applied until the question is answered.

What the checker scored it

The same import review on a 390 pixel phone screen, with the example notice above the accept button — The same door on a phone. Nothing is withheld on the small screen: the notice, the reading and the accept button are all there.

One hundred out of 100, with nothing remaining. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 100 × 40%, and the detail of where those parts come from is in the article on the score. Content collected all forty of its points: ten action-led lines, seven with measurable evidence, ten lines of depth and 254 readable words against a volume band that opens at 250.

Pupil numbers, lesson counts, year groups and months of reading progress are all units the evidence rule can read, which is worth knowing in a profession where almost nothing is denominated in money. The ATS checker shows which of your lines it counted as measurable, so a document that scores low tells you which sentences to fix.

What to change for your own

Change the phase and the subject, then put your own cohorts in. Primary, further education and special schools all use this shape with different nouns. Keep qualified teacher status visible with a year on it. Keep one line about a whole-school contribution, because that is what separates a teacher from a head of department on paper.

If you are newly qualified, replace the head of department block with your placements and keep the cohort sizes; the student example shows the same trick with projects instead of roles. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, the data analyst example shows the same structure in a numbers job, and the project manager example shows it at the other end of an organisation.
