I feel that I would be the perfect candidate for the job. I was particularly interested in this job because of the reputation for the school being particularly focussed on drama.

As your school has a drama emphasis, I feel that this would link in with that very well. Since graduating from xxx after getting my PGCE, I have been working at xxx school on a parttime basis. This has given me valuable practical experience of being responsible for a class. However, I am now looking for a full-time opportunity.

Dear Mrs Johnson, I wish to apply for the Year 3 teaching position at your school as advertised in the Times Educational Supplement. I have an Education degree (Primary) from Bath University and have been teaching for the past two years at St Davids Primary School in Wells.

As a teacher, my main goal is to motivate students to do their best and expand their own personal limits. I devise programs, according to syllabus requirements, that develop previous knowledge and encourage students to explore new and interesting possibilities. I encourage students to construct their own learning in an environment that stimulates and helps students to realise their full potential. I have had some excellent results with students who have a history of poor performance. I strive to instil a love of learning and to make learning exciting and interesting. I am confident that my experience and skills will be an asset to your students' learning and development and would love the opportunity to work at your school.

With my major in mathematics and secondary teaching certificate, I am particularly interested in utilizing my skills and knowledge in a secondary setting. My student teaching experience has enabled me to develop a special rapport with the age group that I enjoy most: high school students. As co-advisor of the Computer Club during my practicum, I also gained administrative and organizational skills that enhanced my perspective and my commitment to the extra-curricular component of the secondary school experience. As a student at Boston College, I have excelled academically and worked part-time as an aide at the computer center, where I further developed my interpersonal and communication skills. I am especially interested in the New Horizon School District because of its demonstrated commitment to quality education, as evidenced by the favorable student/faculty ratio and state-ofthe-art classroom technology. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you regarding the Mathematics Department position. Thank you for your consideration. I will contact you within the next two weeks. Sincerely, Hope Toteach Enclosure
