Dear Educators:

I am applying for a position of Teacher. I am a conscientious and well-organized dually-certified teacher in regular and special education, pre-K through 6th grade with extensive and proven experience as an educator in both areas as well as experience working with ELL students.

Since 1995 I have held diverse teaching positions. These positions include: full day Inclusion Kindergarten Teacher in the Ramapo Central School District, and Kindergarten Teacher in the Goshen Central School District. I provide classroom instruction on social skills for children as well as instruction in literacy, constructivist hands on Math, inquiry Science activities, and discovery based Social Studies. I implement formal and informal student learning assessments; plan and teach, co-teach, collaborate; work with parents; serve on various school committees, and ensure a positive, nurturing educational environment that cares for the whole child and stimulates the child’s desire to learn.

Submitted for your review and consideration please find my résumé outlining my experience, education, skills and career objective.

Previously, I held positions as First Grade Teacher at the Edward A. Fogel School of Critical Thinking, P.S. 68X in the New York City School System as well as several other teaching positions in the East Ramapo Central School District. As a result of my dedication and commitment, I have received positive feedback from parents, teachers, and administrators. Through this collective experience, I have gained effective teaching, organizational, interpersonal, and administrative skills.

I am seeking a position that will fully capitalize on my experience while providing further career growth. I am confident that the skills and expertise I possess, coupled with initiative, commitment and dedication to promoting quality education would be of benefit to any school district.

After you have had the opportunity to review and evaluate my credentials, I would be pleased to meet with you to better determine how my background and abilities may best be put to work within your program.

Sincerely,

Lisa Hernandez Rooney
