I'm just curious as to the wording you guys use to describe your job and duties on a resume. Thanks.

Well why don't you post what you have so far and we can try to doctor it up a bit for you. Post a list of your job responsibilities.

Where are you applying?

If you're going to do a skills profile, use it to list your certifications and licenses, or particular demanded skill-sets such as IT skills. Word and Spreadsheet proficiency doesn't count if you have a degree, if anything putting that on a resume would make me more suspicious that you are computer illiterate. Things like 'ability to complete lesson plans' isn't really a skillset either, it's something you've done and should go under your job duties.
Write actively, quantify whenever possible, and start each bullet point with a verb. E.g.: Develop 4-6 daily lesson plans.

Probably want to remove the name of your school, EDIT!!! from the message board. Not from the resume!

Keep it to one page if you can like the above poster said.

Start with your name and contact info in a header style format.

Under that write a 3 sentence profile about you are. An outgoing, energetic teacher with experience in working with K-Adult Korean students. A team player who enjoys communicating and collaborating with others. Excels at managing diverse classrooms and delivering effective instruction. (Oor something like that.

Follow that with your education if you've only been out of uni for a year or two, include what was you major and degree, your GPA (if it's good 3.4+) and when you attended school.

If you've been working for a while than list your employment history first. Write out your job title, where you worked and when you worked there. Then underneath each job list 3-5 bullets of what your main job responsibilities were.

Try to keep it to only things that are related to teaching, if you are applying for a teaching position. If you've done other non-education related jobs and can't fill up your page with education only experience, try to spin your other jobs by emphasizing your organization, team work/management skills, and achievements. (Things that are useful in any career.)

If you have more space, than fill it out with any certificates, achievements and skills related to the job you are applying for.

Don't use the word "good" either.

You probably don't need that skills section because most of the stuff you list is things that you will include in your job responsibilities.
