Would love to hear from folks at SLACs about structuring the C.V. when applying to a SLAC is that is not one of the elites (Williams, Amherst, etc). Have been given some advice that teaching should be on the first page, but this is all from R1 professors with no real SLAC experience. Want to make sure that is accurate. Also wondering where to place students who I've supervised senior projects for? Normally both teaching and students are listed deep in my CV after research sections... Thanks for the advice!

Order of things on the CV is one of those things that matter far less than people think. When it comes to CVs, what is actually important is that it is readable and well structured. I.e., make sure that people can easily find the information on courses you've taught, pedagogical training you've had, etc. Whether that comes first or third is less important than it being easy to spot and the information being comprehensive and clear. I've seen tons of CVs where I couldn't tell if someone's teaching section was referring to TA experience, solo teaching experience or co-teaching experience.
The place where the real weeding out of people who don't seem to care about teaching is the cover letter.

I am an AP at a non-elite SLAC. I second this response. Emphasizing teaching in the cover letter is a must.
