Dear (Recipient Name),

I was pleased to learn of your opening for an elementary school teacher (add specific title of
job/grade level) through your district’s website. As a recent graduate from Stockton University
where I earned by bachelor’s degree in Teacher Education as well as a degree in Dance. I have a
strong passion for teaching and working with children. I am certified to teach grades K-6, and I
hold a New Jersey Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing. I think through my
experience I have gained during my student teaching as well as my other experience working
with children as a dance teacher, I am qualified candidate for the job.

I have experience in 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade classrooms from my semester of student teaching,
one of them being via a virtual platform due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I have had full time
experience in a 1st grade classroom most recently. During my time of full-time student teaching,
I was able to assume all roles and teaching responsibilities of my mentor teacher, including
planning, teaching, assessing, and grading. I was able to work closely with students and planned
lessons that related to their interests and met their different needs. I aimed to create a safe and
inviting learning environment for all of my students to succeed in. During my time as a student
teacher, I also had the opportunity to sit in on grade-level meetings and attend professional
development days with staff members.

My resume is enclosed as well as my references. I will be in contact with you within the next
week to discuss employment opportunities. Feel free to contact me in the meantime at (856-
340-8031 or madiderbyshire@gmail.com I look forward to speaking with you and learning more
about this job opportunity.

Thank you for your consideration,


Madison Derbyshire
