I am writing due to my interest in the available administration position in your school district. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in music and will have a Master of Science in Educational Leadership and Initial Administration License in July of 2019. Due to my experience in the classroom and passion for students I believe I can be a valuable asset to the school. As my resume will demonstrate, I have extensive experience working with children of all age levels and backgrounds. This experience has blossomed into a passion to educate young minds in order to guide students to become well- rounded, responsible, and successful individuals. In my experience as a teacher I have taken on many leadership roles such as building test coordinator, building site council chair, and PBIS treasurer. During the previous school year I also completed my administration internship in which I completed over 360 hours of administration work that included subbing for the dean of students and other principals, coordinating a community engagement event, observing 20+ teachers and providing feedback, creating a master schedule for a new specialist model for our 800-student building, among other things. Throughout my work in schools I have developed five core philosophies that guide my decision making; relationship building, engagement, high expectations, perseverance, and humility. I look forward to the opportunity to use these philosophies in a new capacity and to work alongside you and the staff of your school district. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jacob Lawrence Tucker
