Dear Future Employer,
The enclosed resume will highlight my career accomplishments and demonstrate my solid creative, instructional, and leadership capabilities. Over the past few years, I have had the wonderful opportunity to instruct a diverse group of school students, and as a result, I have developed highly effective teaching techniques and instructional methods, which have allowed me to educate all styles of learners and foster a fun and engaging learning environment that effectively teaches art appreciation, promotes creativity, and encourages growing independence.
One of my greatest strengths as an educator is meeting each student's unique needs by developing a personal understanding of each one of them. I achieve this by seeing and assessing the students as individuals, and tailoring lesson plans to accommodate multiple intelligences. My goal is to increase student motivation, awareness, and understanding of the arts, while implementing interdisciplinary-based lessons involving social studies, science, math, language arts, and multiculturalism.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Desiree Morgan
