Ms. Rose K. Anderson, Principal
Boston Public Schools
24 New Wales Street
Boston, MA 52147

 

Dear Ms. Anderson:

I have three years combined experience with young children and am eager to pursue my career at Boston Public Schools in the role of a Paraprofessional.

I love working with individual and small groups of children to reinforce new skills initially introduced by the teacher. After my student teaching experience last year, I obtained a teacher aide position at Rapides Parish School District where I have further polished my capabilities.

As you will see in my resume, I am well-versed in:

• Assisting lead teacher with instruction and supervision of children in classroom activities, particularly those children identified as having a moderate to severe disability
• Creating and completing classroom documents
• Assisting children in classroom transition times, mealtimes and toileting
• Utilizing appropriate language, interactions and positive discipline
• Maintaining open conversation with parents by scheduling and conducting parent and teacher conferences and home visits
• Interacting with various young children from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds

As an tolerant and reliable paraprofessional, I would like to discuss my qualifications and teaching assistance skills in detail. I can be best reached during afternoons at (000) 989-7676. Also, I will call you next week to follow-up.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,

(Signature)
Sara Smith
