Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the English Language Arts Teacher position at Maplewood Middle School, recently advertised on LinkedIn. With a strong commitment to fostering a love for literature and writing skills among middle school students, paired with a solid track record of educational leadership and curriculum development, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the academic excellence at your institution.

I completed my MA in Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction at the State University of New York, where my thesis explored the role of project-based learning in enhancing literacy among diverse student populations. At Oaktree Middle School, I created and led a literacy program that boosted test scores by 15% over three years. This initiative used tailored teaching strategies to engage both advanced learners and those needing extra support.

At Oaktree Middle School, I spearheaded the school's participation in the district-wide literary magazine, overseeing the editing and publication process for student submissions. The endeavor showcased students' creativity, instilled pride in their writing, and broadened their understanding of culture and history through cross-curricular units I developed with colleagues.

I am particularly impressed by your institution's commitment to fostering a collaborative learning environment and its emphasis on innovative teaching methods. I am eager to bring my expertise in curriculum development and passion for student-centered learning to your school community. I am confident that my ability to create engaging and rigorous lesson plans aligned with state standards will contribute to the continued academic success for which your school is known.

Enclosed is my resume, which provides additional details about my professional background and accomplishments. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my qualifications and dedication to educational excellence align with your school's vision. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to the growth and achievement of your students.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
