dear <courtesy><last name>,

 

my passion for shaping the minds and cerebral abilities of students is what drives me to understand that i would be a valuable asset to your institution. therefore, to follow is my r sum in support of my pursuit for the position of <position> at <school or district name>. experience teaching pre-school students and summer camp students, ages 6 to 12, merged with my educational accomplishments has properly prepared me for this respective position. i have an associate degree in early childhood. performing above expectation comes natural for me as i have discovered that an ambitious drive leads, often times, to successes.

 

my teaching style is ever-changing. i am continually adapting and growing to best meet the needs of my students. it is imperative that, as an instructor, i get to know their strengths, interests, talents, and ways in which they learn. learning occurs through hands-on activities, real-life experiences, and the use of manipulatives. i resolve to teach my students where they are academically and take them as far as they can go. my goal is to influence as many students as possible with my optimistic attitude, which serves as the catalyst for dynamic student performance. in a perfect world, all students perform well, and as idealistic as this may seem, i consistently go above and beyond to realize this goal one student at a time. appreciating the value of learning differences guides me in encouraging students to realize their own value and develop into confident scholars despite any learning difficulties.

 

my intent is to remain a motivating, goal-oriented educator, devoted to using a structured classroom to make a categorical difference in the lives of students. an ability to create an atmosphere conducive to active learning and exploration is my specialty. i remain dedicated to students social, educational, and life-skill development by providing an interactive learning environment. i lead by example when i motivate students to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential using age-appropriate, creative and exciting lessons, intriguing manipulatives, and positive reinforcements. it never seems to be difficult to establish positive relations with students and colleagues with diverse backgrounds, based on my dynamic interpersonal and communication skills.

 

in conclusion, i invite more conversation about how my qualifications and teaching experience will contribute positively to your institution s academic performance. thank you for your time and consideration. i look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

 

sincerely,
