Dear Ms. Jones,
I’m writing to apply for the position to become a special education teacher for track 4. I am
currently a student at Arizona State University; however, North Carolina is home sweet home. I
am working towards my master’s degree in addition to majoring in education. I have been
searching for a job with the description that you have posted, and I have finally come across
one on jobing.com.
I fully recognize the responsibility that comes with a job like this. I have had a lot of experience
when it comes to working with kids that are intellectually disabled. I have taken many courses
in college that have prepared me for this moment. I have also volunteered at local summer
camps that help kids with disabilities have fun like any other ordinary kid. I want to be able to
change kids lives and use their strengths and weaknesses to help them accomplish not only
their education goals, but goals in life. I also have many skills that have helped prepared me
such as:
Knowledge from my SPE222 (orient to ed exceptional child)
Knowledge to other language such as Spanish
Personal experience with working with disabled kids
Previous jobs that have taught me patience and acceptance
When I saw the job opening, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to offer you my people skills.
My goal for this job is to change the stereotype that these children receive. I want to not only
teach them in the general curriculum, but I want to teach them about life and to push them
towards their life goals. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Alexia T. Laughlin
