The personal history statement should include, at a minimum, relevant background information about your journey as a teacher and professional; examples of how you connect with and make content relevant for students of differing capabilities, backgrounds and experiences; and anything else about your personal history that would assist the search committee in understanding and evaluating you as a teacher and candidate.
