Dear School Administrator,

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request to teach in [school district name]. I am very
interested in teaching in your school district. I am currently a senior at Dakota State University and will
graduate in May of 2017 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education as well as a K-12
education technology minor and an elementary/assistant coaching endorsement.
In May, I will complete my student teaching experience at Madison Elementary School District in
Madison, South Dakota. During my time at Dakota State University I have had the chance to observe and
teach in second, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms. I have also had to chance to observe in several other
classrooms. In these field experiences I have learned how to properly construct lesson plans, differentiate
instruction, manage my time wisely, incorporate technology, use different types of instructional strategies,
collaborate with peers, and assess students’ learning.
During my student teaching and other experiences I have had the amazing opportunity to work
with many different students and to watch them grow. I have had the chance to work with children in
many settings such as an after school program, 4-H camp, and Sunday school. All of these opportunities
have taught me that every child is unique and has their own way of thinking. I want to emphasize this
philosophy in my teaching to help my future students reach their full potential. I also want to include this
philosophy into my classroom environment. I want my students to feel at home and confident when they
step into my classroom. Having the chance to work with students is the best part of teaching and is what I
look forward to everyday.
I look forward to hearing from you about any possibilities to work as a part of your school district.
I would be honored to interview for any opportunity you have available. Thank you again for taking time
to consider my request to teach in your school district. Feel free to contact me for any additional
information or a personal interview at (605)-680-4332 or at my email eebitterman@dsu.edu

Sincerely yours,

Elizabeth Bitterman
