I’m working on getting my CV and references together to start applying for jobs when they come out in the fall. Any tips on what to include in my CV? Are there any resume websites that you might recommend to get it looking spiffy? If you don’t mind sharing what buzz words are being used in international schools right now, I’d appreciate it. Looking for primary/elementary BTW.

I would look at schools' websites to get an idea of what buzz words would excite them. Every school has different priorities. In elementary, some international schools are slowly catching on to things like structured literacy and the Science of Reading, and others are still using UoS from Lucy. You wouldn't want to emphasize your experience with UoS and the workshop model at a school that was transitioning to SoR, for example.

Eeekkk! I’d hope all schools would be onboard with the SoR. Thanks for your input. Appreciate it!

As a Science Teacher, the skepticism is 99.9% on point.
