Dear, Principal Name
I am very interested in applying for the World History teaching position at your
school. I believe my commitment to education and experience in several classrooms
during my education at Arizona State University, make me an excellent candidate. I
have experience in teaching 7th through 12th grades. I hope to continue my teaching
career at your school.
I strive to create a classroom environment that will motivate and encourage
students to enjoy social studies while maintaining a disciplined approach to learning
to build a foundation for lifelong learning. I believe the primary goal of high school
social studies is to prepare students to participate in civic life and to become
financially independent. I have worked in desert mountain high school and
incorporated several literacy strategies and technologies into my lessons. I have
successfully developed interdisciplinary units and developed a proactive classroom.
I use multiple assignments and assessments during the year to help students track
their progress towards appropriate goals. I have drafted a few samples of parent
communications for you to review on my digital portfolio.
I will graduate with a bachelor of the arts in Secondary History Education from
Arizona State University. I have been certified to teach high school and middle
school history. I am a capable problem solver and can manage students in the
classroom. I use engaging methods to keep student interest in my lessons. I have
demonstrated strong organizational skills and leadership skills.
I am certain that my skills and experience will meet your job requirements. I would
be very happy to meet with you for an interview. You can contact me at (480) 6851960 any time. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Michael Morse
