I am pleased to present my resume to you as an Elementary School
Teacher. I have a Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education and a minor in
ESL.
As my resume will demonstrate, my teaching career has been geared
toward the elementary school children. I have a strong passion to educate
young minds and help them become well-rounded, responsible and successful
individuals. Throughout the course of my career I have had wonderful
opportunities to teach diverse groups of students, those that performed at
grade level and those that did not. As a result, I have become proficient
in designing creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodate
multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning to keep
students interested and help them stay focused.
Although my resume is geared towards my career as a teacher I offer
many contributions and have learned many skills to work in other career
fields. I have great organizational and computer skills, I am a fast
learner, I work well with others and I can be a leader. I always work and
conduct myself in a professional manner. I look forward to learning new
skills and furthering my education as well. I look forward to discussing
with you ways in which I can make a contribution to your company. Thank you
in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Rebecca J. Henderson (Light)
