Sample Letter of Application for a Teaching Position
Dear Prof. Dr. Jackson,
Please consider this my application for an elementary school teaching position in the The Cleveland Metropolitan School District. As my curriculum vitae reveals, I will graduate from Cleveland State University in June with a BS degree in Pedagogy and a minor in Psychology.
My student teacher experiences gave me the opportunity to assume all the responsibilities of an
elementary teacher at multiple grade levels. My student teaching experience includes several urban
settings with different cultural student populations. I have also worked successfully with students with various disabilities. Furthermore, with a strong background in psychology, I bring a true understanding of the many factors affecting the education of children.
I feel confident and qualified to take on the challenges that teaching offers. I am eager to prove my talent and teaching skills within a school district that is committed to high standards in the education of children.
I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you and further discuss my qualifications. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Sharon Stein
