Mr. Todd Blair, Superintendent

DEF School District
4589-27th Ave, East
Sacramento, CA 99999

Dear Mr. Blair:

It is with great interest and anticipation that I am seeking to secure a Secondary School
Teacher position with your school district. As an enthusiastic and dedicated new
educator with hands-on student teaching experience, I would love to be a member of
your academic team. I believe that my instructional abilities, combined with my strong
interpersonal skills and work ethic can greatly benefit your educational program.

I believe that experiential, inquiry-based education is the key to success for high school
students. As a teacher, I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths
and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I aim to provide a stimulating
learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while
fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential.

As a teacher, I am committed to doing anything I can to help my students learn and

achieve their goals. I will work hard to come up with lessons that will help every student
better retain the subject matter. To this end, I will incorporate participatory activities,
technology, guided practice, problem-based learning, and real-world applications to help
students make progress and build on their skills. Through my teaching experience thus
far, I have found that facilitating rather than dictating is a highly beneficial style of
teaching. I have learned that if students construct their own learning experiences, they
will not only retain information longer, but they will also become more confident in their
abilities.

I love working with students and will continue to strive to be a positive influence in their
lives. I realize how vital education is in the preparation for young people to achieve
success in all endeavors set before them. I hope to instill a love of learning and a desire
for constant knowledge within each student.

Being a highly motivated and passionate educator, I welcome the opportunity to meet
with you to discuss how my teaching style and skills would benefit your educational
program. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Kim A. Smith
