To whom it may concern,

I am interested in applying for an Industrial Arts teacher position. As a future graduate of the University of
Winnipeg/Red River College Co-op program in Industrial Arts/Bachelor of Education, I am not only a wellqualified candidate for a classroom setting with a teachable major in geography, but I also hold excellent
qualifications with a second major in Industrial Arts. My Industrial Arts major included extensive training in
Woodworking, Metalworking, 3-D Printing, Ring Casting, Computer Assisted Drafting (CAD), Graphic Arts,
Technology Education, Automotive and Electronics.
I am currently finishing my fifth year placement at Vincent Massey Colligate in the Pembina Trails School
Division. My teaching duties in this placement include teaching Industrial Arts (Woodworking) and Grade 10
Geography. In addition to teaching these courses I have also taught Electronics/Graphic Arts at Oak Park High
School and Metalworking/Graphic Design at Shaftesbury High School. These placements have given me the
opportunity to work with a variety of learners from various backgrounds including at risk youth. These
experiences have lead me to explore different approaches to my teaching and classroom management
techniques in order to help all learners to be successful learners in my classroom. My cooperating teachers and
placements have helped me to become a quick problem solver, learn to disarm tense situations quickly, while at
the same time maintaining a creative, nurturing and most of all, patient attitude and demeanor.
I strongly believe that volunteering my time with learners outside of class is very important and I am going to
be taking part guitar building club at Vincent Massey Colligate. I have also had the Industrial Arts labs open at
lunch for learners looking to work on projects or develop new projects. The extra time spent with learners grants
me the opportunity to get to know learners better than is typically possible in a regular classroom setting.
It is my goal to bring my range of experiences and expertise and make a positive contribution to your school
division. I look forward to discussing a position with you in the future, please contact me with any questions
you may have.
Sincerely,

Darrin James Brown
