Dr. Frank Scholar, Superintendent
Climber G School District
6789 East Street North
Schoolee, XX 98764
Dear Dr. Scholar:
Please consider this a formal application for a social studies teaching position in the Climber G School District. I am a 2011 graduate of Clabor Southwest University. I have excellent grades and recommendations from my participating teacher as well as my university student teacher supervisor. I had a great student teaching experience that made me even more enthusiastic about becoming a member of the teaching profession.
I student taught social studies at the ninth and tenth grade levels at Parkington Haverd Junior-Senior High School from September to December of this school year. I am convinced that my experiences were broad and varied. I attended all of the school events with the regular classroom teacher including several school-sponsored dances, sporting events, and parent conference day.
I served as an assistant coach for the football team at the junior high where I met and coached some fine students. I was able to develop a rapport with the players that helped when I taught some of them in my class. This gave me a different perspective seeing them as students in class and athletes on the field.
Presently, I am working at the Fuzzymind Learning and Reading Center. I have gained additional experience from this position by helping the students enhance their learning skills. I enjoy the nurturing effect of this position, and I have become more creative in developing original learning activities.
I know that I will become an excellent teacher in the Climber G School District if given the opportunity. Please feel free to call me for an interview where I can share my portfolio with you and/or your interview committee.
Sincerely,
Edward Educator

Cover Letter Sample-S
Dr. John Invernizzi
A job application letter or cover letter is a letter written to a potential employer to present your qualifications and express interest in a position. It accompanies your résumé or curriculum vitae (CV), serves as an introduction to your résumé/CV, and provides additional information.
Always include a cover letter even if the job source advertisement does not specify that one is needed. Your cover letter should be customized for each potential place of employment, although you could use the same basic pattern if it is for the same job title.
Your job salary will probably be "as per contract," although you may have some qualifications like "years of experience" and a graduate degree that may generate additional compensation. Do not mention salary in the cover letter, unless the ad source specifies to do this.
Don't state your whole life history; just mention some things that might make you stand out from other candidates. Remember, this cover letter is to get your "foot in the door." Don't recap your résumé here, but you can make some references to it if you have something dazzling that points out your work habits, e.g., earned the "top customer service award" while working at ____ or the "compassionate social services award" from the _____.
It's okay to include information about any athletic endeavors and other activities here, but it should not dwarf your academic achievements. Coaches and activity sponsors are needed, and this may make your cover letter sparkle!
Interviewers don't have time to read short stories; the details are in your résumé or curriculum vitae. Keep your cover letter brief--remember this is a tease! Brief cover letters may be read fully, while long boring ones might be read superficially. Use this space wisely!
Finally, review other cover letters for more ideas. There are many suitable styles and templates to follow. Find one that you feel comfortable using!
