Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to express my interest in the Teacher position you have advertised on the
Division of Human Resources website.
As a School Counselor, servicing middle school and high school students, afforded me the
opportunity to converse with students concerning career options, study strategies, conflict
resolution, post-secondary readiness, independent living and financial options. This
position provided the opportunity to use various counseling skills while navigating career
paths, working with parents and to collaborate with faculty and administration on meeting
student needs.
As an Exceptional Educator, I am familiar with the state (TN) standards, classroom
management strategies, submitting lesson plans, team/inclusion-teaching, (IEP) &
modifications within IDEA and/or Section 504. My experience; under the exceptional
umbrella covers birth to twenty-one and an array of limitations such as emotionally
disturbed, learning disabled, selective mute, blind/low vision, hearing impaired and dual
diagnosis to name a few.
As your employee, I will welcome hard work and opportunities to enhance skills that will
highlight my professional development. I pride myself on my dependability, organization,
thoroughness, and ability to work well with others. I know that I will make the difference
that you are seeking.
I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you concerning the Teacher position.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I have enclosed a copy of my resume for your
convenience.
Sincerely,
Gwendolyn Kilcrease
