Box 190 Thomas, OK 73669 Dear Mr. Royalty: I am interested in your opening for an Agricultural Education instructor at Thomas-Fay-Custer Public Schools. I am currently student teaching at El Reno Public Schools and will be graduating from Oklahoma State University in May 2018. Upon graduation, I will be receiving my certification and be ready to begin with my career. As you can see by the enclosed, I have a strong background in animal science, livestock production, and livestock judging. After discussing this opportunity with Mr. Bilderback and Mr. Kurt Murray, I feel this opportunity presents a good fit with my background and interests. Mr. Kliewer comes highly recommended for his classroom management and leadership activities, presenting me an opportunity to work with and learn from his experiences as I enter this great profession. During this semester, I have been working on developing my classroom instruction style by leading the Agricultural Science I and Horticulture classes. As the semester progresses I will delve into both Agricultural Communications and Agricultural Mechanics. This opportunity has provided me time to learn how to fit my methods to individual needs within the classroom setting. I have also worked with students on learning speeches, oral reasons, and plant identification. Through my experiences so far, I have learned to adjust my teaching style to offer a positive learning environment in a manner that’s agreeable to all students. I hope to bring the same style and environment to your school. Please feel free to call me at any time to further discuss this opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Dylan Murray Dylan Murray
