To Whom It May Concern:

I am very interested in the opportunity to work as a Technology Coach, Consulting Teacher,

Literacy Coach, or teacher at your school. Perhaps after reading this letter and enclosed resume,

you will agree we have a mutually beneficial reason to meet. My credentials include:

• 10+ years of teaching experience in Metro Nashville Public Schools.

• A track record of increasing students reading levels and improving their comprehension

through the use of technology.

• A track record of increasing students math, reading, and social studies scores on TCAP

through the use of technology and other strategies..

• For the majority of my teaching career, having above average TVAAS scores.

• Leadership skills as Literacy Coach at a high priority middle school.

Metro Nashville Public Schools mission to educate students with the highest quality

professionals is one that I share wholeheartedly. As a teacher and former Literacy Coach, I take

pride in improving the academic skills of students that will prepare them to achieve their future

endeavors.

Working at your school would be an excellent opportunity for me to grow as an educator, and

share some of the strategies I’ve implemented over the years. And I would welcome the chance
