To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter to show my utmost interest in working as an elementary teacher in your school
district. I will be a PA certified Early Childhood Educator, graduating from Millersville University on
May 9, 2015.
Throughout my student teaching placement and field experiences, I have acquired the knowledge that
students learn in a variety of ways. However, all students have an authentic curiosity to explore, learn and
discover new things. It is my role, as a teacher, to create an atmosphere where I encourage each child to
learn and grow, and to support their inquisitiveness using hands on, interactive lesson plans.
During my student teaching placement at Kunkel Elementary School, I learned and applied a broad range
of teaching strategies. I constructed my lesson plans by consulting the Common Core Standards for clear
objectives and learning goals as I integrated technology in engaging learners. I implemented a variety of
assessments to ensure evidence of successful learning throughout each unit. I created a classroom rapport
where students felt safe and eager to learn. The students assumed a very active responsibility for their
own learning. They collaborated often, provided input, and reflected on their learning daily. I also spent
time working with other teachers and building on ideas and implementing strategies to use in the
classroom. My ability to build positive relationships with students and peers along with my aptitude to
provide whole class and individualized instruction enables me to be a great asset to your school district.
I truly believe that we are all lifelong learners. I would love the opportunity to share this belief, along
with my enthusiasm with your school district. I look forward to discussing with you how my experiences
and abilities can best meet the goals of your district. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Alyssa Miller
