Dear Dr. Rogers,
I believe it is the teachers job to provide students with the proper environment they need to
grow, explore, and learn new skills and information that will make the successful in the future.
Through extensive training in Samford Universities early childhood/elementary/special
education program I have become prepared to do just that. I am interested in becoming a teacher
at your school.
During my undergrad career I have gained a large variety of experiences that have prepared me
to become a teacher. I am able to plan and implement engaging, highly effective lessons.
Through my time spent in special education classrooms I am well prepared to meet the needs of
all students by using research based differentiation strategies.
With this being said, I have enclosed my resume. My resume will provide more information
regarding my qualifications and accomplishments. I would welcome the opportunity to interview
with you to discuss your school and the 2nd grade teaching position. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Chandler McAlister
