Dear Hiring Committee:
I am writing in regards to the Second Grade Teacher position at XYZ School. I believe my interest in working with
English Language Learners and my experience teaching in diverse settings would make me an excellent fit for this
position.
My background in designing engaging lesson plans and curriculum in accordance with California State Standards and
Curriculum Frameworks enables me to effectively meet all the required standards while still contributing my own
creativity and individualized approach to learning. I have a strong understanding of child development and have been
consistently recognized by teachers and administrators for my effective use of classroom management strategies and my
ability to integrate new technologies into lesson planning. I am also fluent in written and spoken Spanish and am able to
communicate with parents and families from Spanish-speaking households in order to actively engage them in their
child’s educational experience
I am particularly interested in XYZ School because of your award winning reading program for English Language
Learners and your comprehensive approach to improving student reading ability. Enclosed is my resume with further
details on my qualifications. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualifications.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jill Pepperdine
