Characteristicsof a Good Cover LetterTo accompany the resume

Set up the cover letter like any business letter.

Address the cover letter to the principal. Go to the schools website and findthe exact spelling of the principals name and the address of the school.

Paragraph One: Explain why you are writing. I would like to be considered

for a teaching position in English at LaDeDa High School. Include another

sentence or two about your degree and graduation date and anticipated

certification.

Paragraph Two: In two or three sentences, establish the feature that

distinguishes you from other candidates. For example, extensive student teachingexperience with ELL students, an unusual success rate with previously poor

performing students.

Paragraph Three: In two or three sentences, mention another strong quality.

Focus on a strength particular to the subject or grade level(s) you are applying for.

For example, personal writing skillsEnglish teacher; training in several methods

of teaching readingECE K-3; technology skillsany.

Paragraph Four: In two or three sentences, reveal personal qualities,

achievements, experiences that make you the best candidate. For example,

extensive travel, willingness to coach a sport or sponsor a club, extreme

enthusiasm for teaching middle school.

Last paragraph: In one or two sentences, express a thank-you for the

consideration, an invitation to contact you for an interview, and willingness to

interview at the principals convenience.

If you use multiple copies of the cover letter, sign each individually and legibly.

Use the same paper to print the cover letter and the resume.

The cover letter should be brief, in 12pt font, never more than one page. Attach

the resume to the cover letter with a gem clip (not a staple). Mail, dont fax.

Characteristics of a Good ResumeApplication for First Teaching Position

1. Include your complete address, phone number (at which you may be

most easily reached), email address.

2. A one-page resume is preferred; a two-page resume is acceptable. A

two-page resume should have your name on the second page.

3. An organized, balanced text looks best. Font size should be 12, no

smaller than 10. Font type should be clean, and easy to readArial,

Garamond, Times New Roman.

4. Use white or off-white paper. No colors.

5. Be consistent in display techniques, punctuation, and verb tense.

6. Using phrases and splinter sentences is acceptable. Bulleted items

stand out and are a good way to highlight important information.
