- Designed 30 differentiated units aligned to state standards
- Cut behavior referrals by 40% with a new classroom management system

Where to put keywords
- Summary: your job title in the posting's words plus your two strongest matching skills.
- Skills section: tools and hard skills, spelled the way the posting spells them.
- Experience bullets: each important skill used in a sentence with a result. A skill that appears only in a list is weak evidence.
