I've seen your original resume, but it's time to update it to be a professional document. You are no longer applying for a "for sure" internship, but a position as a classroom teacher in a HIGHLY COMPETITIVE environment.
Ask your mentor teacher for a copy of her resume, if it's available. Ask other teachers in the building if they will share, especially if they are new teachers!
I will email you mine, as well as the resume of a 4th year teacher.
I've included links to the MSU Career Services office.
The MSU Career Services Office: http://careernetwork.msu.edu/resources-tools/index.html
Resume Specific: http://careernetwork.msu.edu/resources-tools/resumes/index.html (The tips here are excellent, take them seriously!)
We will be polishing your resume in January, so plan to have a solid rough draft for our first seminar in January. You do not need to do any specific work tonight, unless you choose to review the Career Services Office.
Your second activity here is to make time over the next few weeks to make some headway into your portfolio. http://education.msu.edu/te/elementary/pdf/Professional-Portfolio.pdf You don't want this to creep up at the end! I plan to discuss and "show off" what you've accomplished at our first January seminar.
