To Whom It May Concern,
I am applying for a teaching position with your institution. As a native French speaker and an educator with over twenty-five years of international teaching experience, I believe my knowledge of both subject and students will be of value to your institution.
I have developed teaching strategies (constructivist practice) and ethical positions (fairness for all) that motivate students and stir them to reach their individual potential. I am experienced and qualified to teach a variety of students, from the very earliest pre-kindergartners to advanced learners.
High standards of organization, planning and my consistent use of assessments allow me to systematically facilitate growth and learning. My teaching philosophy privileges student engagement in order to attain student expression. My philosophy prepares students to be global citizens. Students must not only study grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure, but they must be able to communicate through speaking and listening. They must understand cultural norms and subtleties. My strategies include direct instruction, facilitating age appropriate literacies such as research and presentation and structured conversations intent on expanding student perception of the larger world.
My goal is to assist in their joyful growth and development and inspire my students to use their intellects as they create a meaningful and noble life.
I would value the opportunity to speak with you personally as I believe my experience, unique skills and deep passion for children will be of use to your students and staff.
Sincerely,
Amadou M. Coundoul
