It is with considerable interest that I enclose my resume for the Preschool Teacher/
Caregiving position available. I am confident you will find that my fun-loving, caring attitude,
unwavering commitment to education, excellent organization and interpersonal skills, solid instructional
methods, and hands-on experience will be a positive asset to your school.
As a well rounded educator, I have had the chance to teach a diverse group of students
including those challenged by autism, learning disabillities, noncompliant behavior as well as children
who functioned on - and above age level. Consequently, I have gained in-depth knowledge of
accomodating different styles of learners and incorporating effective methods to meet students' unique
needs.
I encourage student learning by incorporating creative learning centers, various forms of
technology, hands-on activities, and fun manipulatives. These methods prove to stimulate students'
social, emotional, physical and academic growth. In addition, I utilize these strategies to introduce new
concepts, establish a connection between the classroom and everyday life, foster and exciting and
engaging atmosphere, and teach fundemental skills.
My greatest capability is cultivating and sustaining strong relationships with all members of the
school community. I hold regular parent-teacher conferences to keep parents up to date, as well as
collaborate with fellow teachers to develop new activities, implement beneficial resources, and refine
teaching techniques. Furthermore, I establish a good rapport with all students and make certain that they
recieve sufficient praise and positive reinforcement.
I would more than enjoy the opportunity to meet with you personally to discuss my qualifications
in further detail, as I am confident I would not only be a valuable addition to your academic team, but just
someone who has the drive and determination to better themselves and the children. I am someone who
can have fun with the children under my care, while still enstilling direction and order. Thank you so
much, and I know that as a Director you are extremely busy, so please contact me at your earliest
convienience.
Sincerely,
Meghan Hildreth
