Dear Ms. Sherman:
I have enclosed my resume in response to the Fifth Grade teaching position posted on the
University of Montana’s Griz-eRecruiting website. After becoming aware of your vacancy, I
researched your school district web page. I am impressed with the number and variety of
afterschool activities your district offers, especially the tutoring programs. I was also interested
to see the level of technology that has been incorporated into your classrooms.
During the past several years, I have had opportunities to work with a wide variety of students in
different environments As a Student Teacher at Hellgate High School, I successfully taught
literature, public speaking and creative writing in junior and senior level classrooms. During my
fieldwork at C.S. Porter middle school, the cooperating teacher provided valuable guidance on
implementing effective classroom management techniques. In addition, I volunteered with the
Flagship Program for three semesters and taught a creative writing mini-course for sixth graders.
The enclosed materials provide an overview of my background. I would appreciate the
opportunity to meet with you to explain my qualifications and the ways I can contribute to the
Sun River School District. I will contact you next Wednesday afternoon to confirm receipt of my
resume and application and discuss when we might schedule a meeting in person. I look forward
to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Tom Johnson
