A cover letter for a teacher job conveys your interest in a teaching position while highlighting your most relevant qualifications, skills, accomplishments, and capabilities.
In fact, a cover letter provides the employer with a sample of your written communication skills.
If your cover letter is written poorly with lots of misspellings and errors, an employer will expect the same quality of work from you in the future.

Dear Mr. Doe:
The combination of my certification in elementary teaching, coupled with my 2+ years of experience in teaching, as well as my interest in the teaching profession, offers me the unique opportunity to make a positive contribution as a teacher at Washoe County School District.
Through professional internships, first-hand experiences, and academic coursework, I have acquired skills and experiences highly relevant to the elementary teacher’s position at Washoe School:
- Interacting warmly, and politely with students.
- Adept at developing lesson plans, analyzing academic performance, and meeting with parents.
- Demonstrated ability to implement a suitable curriculum that reflects observations and goals of children.
- Proficient in performing all kinds of administrative and after-class work.
I believe in achieving the school’s goals through participation, communication, teamwork, and motivation. The enclosed resume details my teaching skills and capabilities.
As a knowledgeable and student-focused teacher, I would like to meet with you to discuss your expectations and my relevant teaching skills in detail.
