Dear Mr. Florence:

As a motivated, student-centric, and highly organized teacher with experience in coordinating civics and history education programs and leveraging outstanding communication skills to achieve success, I am pleased to present the enclosed resume. You will find my dedication and enthusiastic attitude to be of value to your school as your next Secondary Teacher.

My background in developing strategic learning programs to facilitate education and subject comprehension has prepared me to make significant contributions to Theodore Roosevelt High School in this position. As an accomplished civics and history teacher with a solid foundation in assessing needs, customizing programs, and communicating with diverse student populations, I am prepared to excel in stimulating top academic performances from your students while simultaneously encouraging personal and emotional growth.

Highlights of my experience include:

Instructing classes of up to 80 participants and designing tailored lessons designed to ensure optimal comprehension, subject interest and retention, and appropriate preparation for standardized testing.

Developing curriculum and lesson plans, adapting materials and instructional methods, assigning homework and exams, and evaluating students’academic performances to identify areas for further exploration and focus.

Integrating new technology into class lectures to capture student interest and engagement; using tablets and the Internet to promote research on history and current events.

Organizing cross-departmental meetings and conferences while maintaining open and steady communications with management, peers, parents, and the larger community.

Earning a Bachelor of Arts in History from Philadelphia College.

My skills in high school classroom leadership have been finely honed, and I am confident that my ability to quickly connect with students from diverse backgrounds will render me an immediate asset to your teaching staff. It will be a pleasure to offer more insight into my qualifications, and I look forward to meeting with you soon.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Alan M. Kent
