Attention: Human Resources

 

It is with great enthusiasm and pleasure that I am seeking to secure a high school or middle school History/Social Studies teaching position. I believe that my prior experience in the private sector, along with my newly acquired instructional abilities will bring a unique blend of sophistication and maturity into your educational program.

As a returning student I have taken full advantage of my educational opportunity receiving several honors and awards including induction into three National Honor Societies. My previous employment in the United States military, as a head custodian, and within the service industry has enabled me to acquire strong interpersonal skills and an intimate understanding of school policies and procedures. I believe these skills will enable me to be successful in the classroom with students and as a member of a teaching staff. 

Upon request I can furnish a list of my personal history library which includes history texts, videos, and DVD’s which can be incorporated into my classroom activities or made available to fellow teachers.

As a teacher, I hope to not only motivate but captivate students with the love of history and the social sciences. In order to do this, I believe it is essential to create an environment where students feel emotionally and physically secure which will allow them to become active participants in their education. Moreover, my goal as an educator is to instill within the students a passion for learning that will not only ensure their academic success in high school but throughout their entire lives.

Please contact me at your convenience to set up a meeting so that we can discuss in greater detail how my qualifications can best meet the needs of your educational program. Thank you for your time and consideration.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

David W. Smith
