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
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
