March 2015

To whom it may concern,

I am interested in applying for a teaching position, on the elementary level, in your school. Upon graduation from Tennessee Technological University (TTU) in May 2015, I will have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Multidisciplinary Education. Additionally, I will hold a valid Tennessee teaching license in grades kindergarten through sixth.

To date, I have classroom teaching experience at the kindergarten, second, fourth and fifth grade levels in both suburban and rural school districts. At the present time I am co-teaching with the classroom teacher where I completed my residency experience. By volunteering in this manner, I am able to gain the knowledge I need to start my own classroom. I am learning a great deal from this experience. I am challenged daily to be flexible, responsible, patient, and creative.

Throughout my tenure as a pre-service teacher, I have been challenged to work closely with my peers in a co-hort setting. In doing so, I have learned the importance of collaboration and cooperation as well as the need to assert independence. I am well-versed in the Common Core State Standards, have been trained in (and evaluated with) the TEAM assessment module, and explored the use of constructive responses in teaching. Beyond this, I value cross-curricular and technology integration, strive to engage learners in instruction, maintain strong relationships with parents, and know the significance of continuing my own professional development.

It is my goal to grow my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution to your school. I would welcome an interview and hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.
