Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the open elementary vacancies within your district.
As an educator, I am devoted to shaping students to be well-rounded members in
society. I am confident that my teaching experiences, combined with my hard-working
ethic and my dedication to creating life-long learners, will help your school’s mission to
grow students both intellectually and socially.
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pre-K to 4th Grade Elementary
education, Pre-K to 8th Grade Special Education, and Grades 4th-8th (Mathematics)
certified. Additionally, I am an Apple Certified Teacher and Google Educator Level I
certified.
Currently, I serve as an MTSS Interventionist to K-2 students, developing and
supporting students’ academic and social-emotional growth. In this role, I have gained a
deep understanding of how to identify and address the diverse needs of students to
ensure their success. I analyze data from various sources to form small groups in both
literacy and mathematics. In addition to helping students become confident in their
educational abilities, I encourage children to become independent and to take an active
responsibility in their learning. They make their own choices, learn through direct and
indirect instruction, and reflect on their learning daily. Each child has the right to learn,
and it is my passion to educate them. Furthermore, I strive for each child to grow
confidently to enter the world around them with a smile.
My teaching philosophy is centered on creating a safe, supportive, and stimulating
learning environment where students feel empowered to take risks, collaborate with
their peers, and discover their passions. I believe with all my heart that I can positively
contribute, instill, and enrich your school’s vision to develop a long-lasting appreciation
for academics and social development.
I am confident that my experience, skills, and passion make me an excellent candidate for
this position. Thank you for your interest and careful consideration. I look forward to the
opportunity to discuss my qualifications further.
Sincerely,
Vanessa L Hadley
