Dear Mrs Jackson

I read about the Elementary Teacher position advertised on Teachers.com with great interest as my qualifications and experience closely match your requirements. Therefore, please accept my resume for your review and consideration and allow me to briefly explain how I can contribute to your district.

Since graduating eight years ago with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialization in both early childhood and elementary education I have worked in a variety of educational settings. I have developed many valuable skills while teaching diverse groups of students including both children with learning disabilities and gifted children. I am adept at individualizing the curriculum to meet each child’s different needs and designing resourceful lesson plans that accommodate differing learning abilities and interests.

I enjoy being creative and utilizing new ideas and approaches to improve the learning environment for my students. I have incorporated a variety of hands-on activities and fun learning projects to inspire and motivate the students. This also includes the innovative integration of technology across the curriculum.

I am passionate about empowering elementary school children and helping them to develop their full potential. Part of this process includes close interaction with parents to encourage participation and reinforce learning in the home while building the child’s self esteem and confidence.

I am well aware of the high standards of your district and it would be a wonderful challenge for me to be part of your school staff. I look forward to discussing this opportunity with you at your earliest convenience. Please feel free to contact me via phone or e-mail.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely

Tania Teacher
