Ms. Karen FieldsCertificated PersonnelXYZ Elementary SchoolTorrance, CA 90000
Dear Ms. Fields:
Mrs. Claudia Davis suggested I write to you regarding a position as an elementary teacher She felt my organization and communication skills, along with my student teaching, background as a T.A., community service experience and language skills would be an excellent (310) 222-7777 fit for your school. Attached please find my resume.
As part of my certification program at California State University, Dominguez Hills, I taught 4th grade at an inner-city schoolwhere I implemented some innovative teaching methods. For example, I developed an Art Expedition where we traveled to various area museums. I have learned that your school has emphasized education in the arts, and I believe my background would be an asset in this creative environment. I have also developed an after-school homework program for children who remain at school for childcare.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to further discuss my qualifications, show you my portfolio,and learn more about your positions and program. I may be reached at (310) 222-7777. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jean Sanchez-SmithAttachment
