To Whom It May Concern:
As an ambitious, self-motivated individual with a lifelong love of working with children, I believe I offer a set of skills that would make me a welcome and valuable addition to your teaching staff as an upper elementary teacher Born with an innate ability to relate to children, outstanding oral and written communications skills and unlimited creativity to make academics exciting and challenging.
My part time and full time intermediate grade teaching positions in both the private and public urban school sectors have well prepared me to succeed in your school. My exposure, during those years, to the hearts and minds of many wonderful teachers and terrific students have provided me with a better understanding of the culture and strategies I will incorporate in the classroom to excel. The teaching strategies that I learned under their wonderful tutelage are the keys needed to having a successful teaching career. My teaching philosophy centers round a positive classroom management style, excellent planning and follow-through skills, data analysis and a genuine interest in helping others. My teaching strategies are guided reading, making math challenging and exciting with game theory and technology and creating a fail free learning environment.
It is exciting to now I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how I may be of service to your school. It was extremely exciting to hear that your school has an opening next year. I believe I can add to the creativity based on my education experience, which parallels the academic excitement that can be found in your school. I appreciate the time you have spent reviewing this letter and the accompanying resume and look forward to meeting and thanking you in person.
Sincerely,
Daniel J. Crowley
