To Knowledge Academies,
My interest in applying for the Summer School Teaching Intern
position with your company has prompted me to forward this attached
resume for your consideration.
I graduated college with a Bachelor of Science, Early Childhood
Education, in May of 2005, from Middle Tennessee State University.
I graduated with a Master's degree in Elementary Education and
Behavioral Science, from Middle Tennessee State University, in May
of 2010.
While in school for my Bachelors degree, I was a student teacher at
Barfield Elementary School. After I graduated college, Barfield
Elementary offered me a job and I accepted. I have worked as a
Kindergarten teacher for going on 8 years and it has been extremely
rewarding. With the many years of teaching experience I posses, I
have gained strong organizational, communication, time management,
writing, self motivating, listening, teaching, planning, training,
team building, supervisory and computer and audio / visual skills.
With my knowledge and experience, I am equipped to achieve positive
results for your Knowledge Academies and move it towards its future
goals. I feel confident that I can provide the organization with
reliability, dedication, and quality work performance. I would very
much like to join your membership. I believe that I could
significantly contribute to your success.
I would welcome, at your convenience, the opportunity for a personal
interview with you. Thank you for your time and consideration. I
may be reached at the above listed number.
