Dear Mr. Anderson,
I am interested in applying for a teaching position within your school district. I am currently teaching fifth grade science at Sales Elementary in Riverside. I will be moving to the Waterview area during the summer and wish to continue my teaching career at the elementary school level. I am certified by the state of America to teach at all grade levels; however, I most enjoy introducing young students to the wonders of science. I also enjoy helping special needs children reach their full potential and I am open to a teaching assignment in this area as well.
I have been teaching in Riverside for more than a decade, with the majority of my career spent at the elementary school level. I spent the first several years of my career teaching special needs students at the high school level. I graduated from Northwest University in 2002 with a Bachelor’s degree in Childhood Development and Psychology and I have certifications in Exceptional Student Education and Foundations of Special Education. I am certified to teach Earth-Space Science, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Exceptional Student Education.
I believe I have much to offer the children of the Wishaw School District. I am passionate about the importance of education and I am extremely proud to be a part of this noble profession. I utilize hands-on and group participation teaching methods to inspire my students to succeed. I believe these methods capture the interest of students who would otherwise show no interest in math and science. Over the years, my students have consistently earned recognition and awards at science fairs at the district and national level.
I am enclosing a copy of my resume. I will be happy to forward my official transcript on request. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you in person. I am available for an interview any time following the close of this school year. You may reach me by phone at (555)-555-5555 or by email at [email] I look forward to speakingwith you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Helen Reece
