Cover Letter for the Generalist Position, Homeroom and Resource Teacher Elementary/-Generalist Teacher.
Dear Sir/Madam, Dated: -January 24, 2017
I am submitting this letter to be considered for the elementary teaching position you currently have open. Currently
I am working as Substitute Teacher with Rocky View School Division Westmount Charter School, and Rocky
View School Division Calgary. I have worked most of the time with the students of Elementary School for the past
three years.
As a teacher, I take pride in nurturing and guiding my students to develop a love for learning that enhances their
ability to become contributing citizens in their community. My patient, yet firm, and consistent demeanor has
allowed me to be successful in reaching students with varying needs. Through well- planned lessons, enthusiasm,
and a fair, but equal behavior plan, my classroom management skills have made a difference. In my experience, I
find teamwork to be an essential element to achieving many goals, so I look forward to being a part of a team with
these same passions for teaching. My dedication and caring for others has also directed my purpose at my previous
schools where I was actively involved in the Parent Teacher meetings, collaborated with fellow teachers on
curriculum for the school, as well as acted as a facilitator in many areas of need. I have a wealth of experience
working with elementary students in an urban setting. I taught in several after school programs to help students
with homework, and in additional areas of need. During the past three years I have focused my work to develop
Targeted Service programming to help at- risk students, working closely. I have attended a number of workshops
to improve my teaching in different areas and differentiating my instruction.
I have acquired Post Baccalaureate in Education from University of Manitoba and have the Four Years University
Education Degree. Recently I have completed the special Education study as EDUA 5600 Introduction to Inclusive
Special Education (Part –A & B, 6 Credit Hours) from University of Manitoba, Winnipeg. MB. I know the
importance of communicating with parents and colleagues so that I will be able to provide the best ever education
for my students. I strongly believe that the skills and talents I am having will be beneficial to the students. My
knowledge, skills and experience make me the perfect person for this position. I would be an asset to your school
and would love the opportunity to assist in the development and progression of your students’ learning. I would
love to have the opportunity to interview and share more of my beliefs and background. Please feel free to contact
any of my references. Additional references are available upon your request. Thank you for your time and
consideration. Yours sincerely
