Education Cover Letter
If you are writing an education cover
letter, here are a
few guidelines that may just get you into the interview. As always, use
a nice
smart, professional paper. Print your name on the top in a font that is
slightly larger than the rest of the content, followed by address,
contact
numbers, email address and other contact particulars (just like a
letterhead).
Briefly highlight the important issues such as – the post you
are applying for,
your experience and education, current qualifications and how you are a
good
candidate for the job. Keep the content short and crisp. All letters
ring true
when they are written with honesty, so keep the letter and its contents
as
close to the real you as possible.
The sample education cover letter is
given below.

Mr. Sean Douglas
Lincolnville Elementary School
Lincolnville, GA 12344
Dear Mr. Douglas,
I am keen on applying for a teaching position, in your school.
I am a major
in ABC, having graduated from Y College, Z University. I have student
teaching
experience of about three years on the second, and third grade level,
in both
suburban and urban school districts.
Presently I am teaching preschool children at xz school and help elementary
school children to
master basic skills. The job has been extremely fulfilling and has
taught me
the virtues of being creative, patient and flexible in this profession.
I am passionate about teaching young children because it is an
extremely
creative method of communicating learning concepts to children. It is a
process
that aids much of my own learning, of children and their learning
needs. I
believe that a committed and compassionate teacher is one who can make
a huge
difference to every single child and I know that I have those qualities
within
me to make that positive contribution. I would welcome an interview and
hope to
hear from you at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Signature
Sean Douglas
