Resume Magic!

3 credits; 45 hours

Class websit:  www.teachersmarts.com/resume

Participants:      All Classroom Teachers, Counselors, Grades 7 – 12

“Resume Magic” will help your students see the validity of your instruction. Translate before your students’ eyes, the curriculum and skills you teach in the classroom into the new Long Island resume format.

You will:

  • Master the techniques to train your students in presenting their classroom learning with a dynamic resume. 
  • Learn how to create the "New LI Resume" which can be used for applying to colleges, internships, scholarships or running for club officer positions.

The New York Learning Standards calls for all educators to be able to provide a connection between the classroom and post-secondary education and employment world.  Colleges and employers seek the validation of the core competencies and learning standards.  The new LI resume format performs the “cross-over” from classroom to career.  You can begin this process with our students as early as grade 7.

You will be called upon to: 

  • Match the NYS Learning Standards to the skills desired by colleges and employers.
  • Create three sample resumes for your students:  (1) Personal resume for community volunteer or club officer positions, (2) College resume for scholarship and sports, and (3) An internship/employment resume.)

Sample Resumes:

Colleges and employers have announced to the educational community that they seek the following core competencies from our students:

  • Strong basic skills of reading, writing and math.

  • Critical thinking skills

  • Decision-making skills

  • Problem-solving skills

  • Communications skills

  • Leadership skills

  • Using information and resource skills.

 

  • Time Management skills
  • Teamwork skills
  • Computer Skills
  • Knowledge of industry specific terminology
  • Use of technology skills
  • Understanding system skills
  • Work-based learning experiences

 

 Our students' resumes need to validate the above learning skills and knowledge!
