Dear [Name],

This is to apply for an elementary teaching position in the _________ School District. As stated in my
resume, I will graduate from (state your school) in (state when you are graduating) with a (state the
complete name of your degree). I am also processing my California (or whatever is appropriate) State
certification. I should get it in June (or whatever is appropriate).

In my two-year Teaching Assistant job in the (state the school), I was also given the opportunity to co-
handle some of the most difficult student cases in the school. It was what motivated me to do my own
research and propose different activities and approaches that would garner better response from the most
problematic students. My proposal was picked up by the school board and an adhoc committee was
assigned to further develop it. This year, I was informed that the proposal we submitted has been
approved and will be formally instituted in the next school year.

I am also a volunteer to our church’s teaching program for five years now. I now head the adult literacy
program. With the assistance of five other volunteers, we have successfully helped more than 200 former
illiterate adults pass their GED.
I would be eager to come for an interview or a teaching demonstration at your most convenient time.
Should you need to get in touch with me, call me at ##########. Should I not answer, kindly leave a
message on my answering machine and I will return your call as soon as I get the message.

Thank you very much for considering my application.

Truly yours,

Your name and signature

Dear Ms Jameson

Re: Secondary School Teacher, Darwin State High School

I wish to apply for the position of secondary school English teacher advertised recently on seek.com.au.
I have a Bachelor of Education (secondary) from the University of Darwin and have spent the last year in a temporary
position teaching English and History at Carndale High School.

A positive and motivated teacher, I am committed to providing students with a dynamic and interesting learning
environment in which they can grow and develop. I am familiar with the Northern Territory secondary school
curriculum and I thrive on keeping on top of the latest resources and developments within the teaching industry. I
seek to encourage students to enjoy extra-curricular activities and study groups, which I believe instils them with a
self-directed lifelong learning. While teaching at Carndale High School I played an essential role in developing and
conducting research study groups for senior students. I am also qualified as a History teacher, which allows for
flexibility across a range of subjects.

My knowledge, skills and experience make me the perfect person for this position. I would be an asset to your school
and would love the opportunity to assist in the development and progression of your students’ learning.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing my
suitability for this role within your school.

Yours sincerely
