I would change your objective. You might want to say: To secure a position in a secondary classroom as a social studies teacher that will allow me to utilize (add a few skills here). I would take out the part where you listed your certification in your education field. It is already listed in a separate field and there isn't a need to have it on there twice. You also might want to go and look at some sample resumes to see ways that they can be formatted.
