Dear Magen David Yeshivah,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Special Education Teacher position at

Magen David Yeshivah, as advertised on your school district's website. As an aspiring special

education teacher, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the academic and

personal development of students with diverse learning needs. With my educational background,

passion for inclusive education, and commitment to fostering an environment where all students

can thrive, I am confident in my ability to make a meaningful impact at your school community.

My journey towards becoming a special education teacher has been fueled by my dedication to

ensure that every child receives the support and guidance they need to reach their full potential. I

hold a Bachelor’s Degree and am pursuing a Master’s Degree at Brooklyn College, where I

gained a strong foundation in educational theory and pedagogy. I also completed a student

teaching placement at your school, where I had the privilege of working with students who have

various learning disabilities. This experience reinforced my passion for special education and

helped me develop valuable skills in individualized instruction, classroom management, and

collaboration with fellow educators and support staff. I am impressed by Magen David

Yeshivah’s commitment to fostering an inclusive learning environment and providing students

with the resources they need to succeed. Your school’s reputation for excellence aligns perfectly

with my career goals and values. I am eager to be part of a team that shares my passion for

ensuring that students of all abilities have equal access to a high-quality education. In addition to

my educational background and practical experience, I possess excellent communication and

interpersonal skills, which are essential for building strong relationships with students, families,

and colleagues. I am dedicated to staying current with best practices in the field of special

education, and am excited about the opportunity to participate in professional development to

further enhance my skills. I am particularly drawn to the collaborative culture at Magen David

Yeshivah, where educators work together to create a supportive and enriching learning

environment. I look forward to contributing my energy and enthusiasm to your team and

embracing the challenge of helping students overcome obstacles and achieve their educational

goals. Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the prospect of joining

Magen David Yeshivah and contributing to the success of your students. I would welcome the

opportunity to discuss in more detail how my skills and passion align with your school's mission.

Please feel free to contact me at 347-513-4346 or cookiecohen00@gmail.com to schedule an

interview.

Sincerely,

Leah Cohen
