My name is Clare Devlin, and I am seeking an elementary teaching position in your district.
I am a great educator because I create a positive learning environment in the classroom by
emphasizing a growth mindset and implementing positive behavior interventions and supports.
My goal as a teacher is to cultivate lifelong learners.
My student centered teaching style also makes me a great educator as I seek to truly engage
students in their learning. I design and conduct project-based lessons aligned with
common-core and next generation science standards. Also, I have experience teaching
hands-on science and STEM lessons. Furthermore, I have trained students to engage in
academic discourse, inquiry, and critical thinking across all subjects.
I am also a great educator because I am passionate about meeting the learning needs of my
students. I create formative assessments in order to monitor the progress of my students and
improve my teaching practices. Also, I have differentiated instruction, scaffolded academic
language, and conducted interventions in math and reading. Furthermore, I am constantly
looking for ways to improve my teaching practice by seeking feedback from others.
My ability to effectively communicate with others also helps me be a great educator. I use my
communication skills to effectively communicate with students, parents, and colleagues in
various situations on a daily basis. In general, I enjoy building positive relationships and
collaborating with colleagues.
Overall, I am dedicated to student learning and will work hard to make sure my students receive
a quality education. Thank you for considering me for an elementary teaching position in your
district. If you would like to learn more about me please visit claredevlin.weebly.com.
