introduction letter teacher job

If you’re searching for a teaching job, sending an introduction letter can be a great way to make a first and lasting impression with a hiring manager. Here’s a basic outline to follow as you write your teaching letter of introduction, with examples included.

1. Make an Introduction

State the reason why you’re reaching out and express your knowledge and interest in the school.

“I’m reaching out to inquire about the availability of an elementary teaching position at Smithville School District. Smithville is known for its integrity, collaboration, and innovation, which are all values I strongly align with. I especially like what your district is doing with its “KidsTek” initiative and incorporating technology in the classroom. As a new teacher, I am excited about the opportunity to begin my career in a school system with your outstanding reputation.”

2. Highlight Your Skills and Education

Explain how your career plans, skills, education, or experiences are relevant to the school and how they could coincide with the district's values and goals.

“I recently received my elementary education degree from Western Governors University, where I took courses focused on social and emotional learning, technology, and diversity inclusion in the classroom. While pursuing my education, I also worked part-time as a teacher’s assistant at Gainsbrook Elementary School. This experience taught me how to manage larger class sizes, work with kids of various skill levels and backgrounds, and use technology to encourage learning and retention. In addition, I’ve studied and continue to stay up to date on the latest educational software, such as SMARTboard, Nearpod, and Google Classroom. I believe this knowledge is particularly relevant given your district’s commitment to technology and innovation in the classroom.”

3. Showcase Your Passion

Express your enthusiasm for teaching and the qualities that you feel make you a good fit for the role or school.

“While I’ve always felt driven to be an elementary school educator, the joy I felt from facilitating the growth and development of the students at Gainsbrook only reaffirmed my passion. Although I’ll continue to hone my teaching skills as I work in the classroom, I believe that my enthusiasm, positive attitude, and hands-on experience working with the students at Gainsbrook will make me an excellent educator. I look forward to a career where I can help shape young minds and make a difference in the lives of the kids in my own community.”

4. Reference Other Application Materials

Before you conclude your letter, direct the reader to any additional application materials you’ve attached, and close the letter with a thank you.

“Attached is my résumé, which will give you more information regarding my professional preparation and experiences. If you have any questions or if there’s any additional information I can provide, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I appreciate your time and look forward to speaking with you should a position become available at Smithville School District in the future.”

Sample Letter of Introduction for a Teacher with Experience

Below is an example of a teacher introduction letter sent from an experienced teacher to an employer that hasn't advertised a job opening.

I’m reaching out to introduce myself and express my interest in teaching at ABC Academy. As a secondary English teacher for more than nine years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping students of all levels master the language skills and concepts they need to prepare them for life beyond high school, and I’d love to continue that path at ABC Academy.

In my current position, I teach literature, writing, and reading comprehension to students in grades 9 through 12. Over my nine years of teaching, I’ve managed to successfully increase my student’s reading and writing comprehension test scores every year for the last five years.

In my pursuit of lifelong learning, I’ve made it a point to stay up to date on the most current teaching methods, including Cooperative Learning and Flipped Classroom. I’ve also earned an ELL and ESL certification from Western Governors University, where I mastered concepts such as subject-specific pedagogy, language production, and theories of second language acquisition.

Even with the challenges of the current educational landscape, the feeling of watching my students have that “aha” learning moment never gets old. I’m passionate about forging relationships with students that build a sense of confidence and enable them to grow as learners.

I’m extremely enthusiastic about ABC Academy’s focus on language arts and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to the success and continued improvement of your learning initiatives. For this reason, I'd love to learn about any upcoming teaching roles in your district or be considered for any openings later down the road. My résumé is attached, and my contact details are listed in my email signature below.

Thank you for your time, and please let me know if there’s any additional information I can provide for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

introduction letter teacher job

Q: How Do I Write an Engaging Letter of Introduction for a Teaching Job?

Answer: In my experience, the key to crafting an engaging letter of introduction is to highlight my passion for teaching and my educational philosophy.  I always start by mentioning my teaching credentials and years of experience. 

Then, I focus on my unique teaching methods and how I engage students. I include a specific example of a successful project or lesson I’ve implemented. This approach has often caught the attention of hiring committees.

Q: What Should I Include About My Previous Teaching Experience?

Answer: From my perspective, it’s essential to be selective about the experiences I include. I mention roles that are most relevant to the job I’m applying for, focusing on achievements and challenges I’ve overcome. 

For instance, if I’m applying to a school known for its diverse student body, I highlight my experience working in multicultural environments. This way, I demonstrate that I’m not just experienced but also a good fit for their specific needs.

Q: How Can I Make My Letter Stand Out to School Administrators?

Answer: To make my letter stand out, I ensure it reflects my personality and teaching style. I use a conversational yet professional tone and avoid generic statements. 

Adding a personal touch, like a brief story about why I became a teacher or a memorable teaching moment, makes the letter more relatable and memorable to the reader.

Q: Is It Important to Tailor My Letter of Introduction to Each School?

Answer: Absolutely! I always tailor my letter to each school. I research the school’s values, mission, and any special programs they offer. Then, I align my skills and experiences with what they’re looking for. 

For example, if a school emphasizes STEM education, I focus on my experience and success in teaching those subjects. This tailored approach shows that I’ve done my homework and am genuinely interested in their school.

These Teacher Cover Letter Examples Will Help You Land Your Next Role

Your guide to a killer cover letter that will get you that interview.

Teacher Cover Letter Examples

Whether you are sending out resumes hoping to land your first teaching job or looking to shift to a new school or district, one fact remains the same: All the best credentials, experience, and passion will go unnoticed without a strong cover letter. The main rule? Sell yourself the way a publicist would. Cover letters aren’t a time for modesty. They’re a time to highlight your accomplishments and make your passion for teaching known. Below you’ll find our tips for creating the best cover letter possible and our top teacher cover letter and CV examples.

3 top tips for crafting a teacher CV or cover letter:

Keep it short and sweet..

You’ve only got about 30 seconds to capture a hiring director’s attention, so start with what we call “the elevator pitch.” Imagine you have the time between the elevators closing on one floor and opening again on another floor to sell yourself. Instead of rehashing everything on your resume, use the space to craft a paragraph or two that will convince them you are a standout candidate and are worth moving on to the next step.

Emphasize why you’re a great match.

Read the job description and find the overlap between the skills you bring to the table with the skills they need. If the job description calls for certain qualities or uses specific language, repeat them in your cover letter! The ultimate goal for your cover letter is to say, “You’ve got a problem? I’m the ideal person to solve it.” Be professional and use concrete examples.

Individualize!

Tailor each and every cover letter to fit the specific school, district, and job for which you’re applying. Research the school and its culture. That way, you can address their expectations and also use specific examples of achievements in your history to show why you’re the right candidate for the position.

Top teacher cover letter examples:

1. first-time teacher.

This letter is friendly and enthusiastic. It uses concrete examples and experiences related to student teaching while showcasing exactly why the applicant wants to become a teacher.

[contextly_auto_sidebar]

2. Another first-time teacher example

This version of a cover letter calls out the specific skills the applicant has and hopes to bring to the table.

3. Experienced elementary teacher

Not every teacher stays in their job until retirement. If you’re looking for a new position, your cover letter should clearly state your experience. This example also makes it obvious that the candidate researched the new district and discusses why she would be excited to join. The candidate also includes references at the bottom of the cover letter.

4. Another experienced elementary teacher

It doesn’t hurt to have additional examples! This teacher cover letter clearly showcases the school’s goals and addresses how this teacher specifically can help. She did her research!

5. Summer school teacher

As school lets out for summer, many teachers still need to earn an income. With competition tight, this cover letter stands out as the candidate states her qualifications as well as her ability to train other staff members.

6. Assistant teacher

With this letter, the applicant took a slightly different approach. The letter breaks down the most relevant accomplishments into bullet points. Those will jump out at the hiring manager, who will likely scan through a ton of applications.

7. Special education teacher

This letter is similar to a standard teacher cover letter, yet it also stresses the specific qualifications and experiences of a special ed teacher. For example, this candidate included how they modified the curriculum to meet the needs of a wide range of learners. In this particular cover letter example, the teacher was looking to move into a leadership role, so this serves as a template for someone looking to transition into management as well.

8. School counselor

This cover letter emphasizes the applicant’s academic achievements, especially with regard to the psychology education required for many counselor positions. It also talks about the characteristics that make this person the ideal candidate for this position.

9. School guidance counselor

We liked this cover letter because it pulls specific metrics that are not in the resume—including the number of students the candidate worked with and the funding obtained for special needs programs.

10. Library media specialist

This cover letter oozes confidence! As with any specialist position, the candidate hones in on how her specific skills and background make her qualified for this role.

11. High school English teacher

This cover letter covers a lot of ground. It points out the candidate’s strengths for teaching and assessing knowledge in the specific subject. It also presents the special techniques the candidate uses to teach students at the high school level.

12. Technology teacher

Taking a very professional approach to writing a cover letter shows that the contender is serious. This letter points out the specific skills that best prove why this candidate is a great fit for the position.

13. Music teacher

A music teacher requires knowledge of multiple instruments and a love of music and music theory. This cover letter showcases the candidate’s background and why they feel music is an important part of the education experience.

14. Drama teacher

Drama teachers often go above and beyond just teaching a class. They host auditions and rehearsals for after-school productions. This cover letter shows the candidate’s knowledge of curriculum, directing a show, and even marketing efforts!

15. Foreign language teacher

Foreign language teachers need to display their knowledge of the particular language as well as showcase how well they can immerse students in the culture. This cover letter discusses the teacher’s plans to incorporate curriculum as well as help facilitate induction of students into the German Honor Society.

16. Sports coach

This cover letter has a terrific opening line that sets the candidate apart from the get-go. It also clearly covers the candidate’s qualifications, from knowledge and experience to attitude and philosophy. This cover letter example also works well for PE teachers.

17. ESL teacher

Teaching English as a second language obviously requires a distinct skill set. This cover letter showcases key communication skills and lets the hiring director know the specific language fluency.

18. Math teacher

Touching on the highlights of their resume without rehashing it completely (who wants to read something twice?), this candidate points out their qualifications and certifications as well as their versatility in teaching different types of students.

19. Pre-K teacher

Teaching pre-K takes patience, creativity, and flexibility. This cover letter effectively highlights the candidate’s communication and problem-solving skills as well as the personal qualities that make them great at their job.

20. Business teacher

This cover letter provides excellent background about the teacher in a way that’s appropriate for business. It shares the necessary information clearly and concisely.

21. International school teacher

Working at an international school requires a certain skill set, and this letter highlights the teacher’s language skills as well as their ability to create effective lessons on relevant topics while providing students with the support they need to succeed.

Writing a Letter of Introduction for Teaching Jobs

A letter of introduction is a weird job application requirement that I saw all the time during my California submissions. Also known as a “letter of interest” or a “cover letter”, it’s basically what it sounds like—a letter that introduces you to the administrator/district and lets them know why you want to work for them. 

When I was crafting my own cover letter, I was overwhelmed when I Googled “teacher letter of interest”. SO MANY RESULTS popped up. What should I write? What should I omit? How long should it be? What should it look like? Should it have a picture? So many thoughts went through my mind.

Now, I am not saying my way is the right way, but I AM saying that my way got me 12 interviews and 3 job offers in Southern California. So…good enough for me 🙂

Here are my best letter of introduction tips:

  • I always recommend making a master skeleton letter and then changing out parts that are pertinent to each specific school or district. The idea is that you want to impress the person reading it and prove to them that not only you researched their school/district, but you have qualities and aptitudes that you can bring to help support their mission. If you are applying to a job fair and they request your portfolio to send out to all of the schools/districts, then obviously you’ll just send the master with no district-specific information.
  • As for the salutation, I recommend that you make it say, “Dear Administrator:”. Based upon my research when I wrote my own a few years back, this is the most common punctuation (with the colon, because it’s more formal than a comma). You *could* put a specific administrator’s name, if you happen to have it, but oftentimes that information can be hard to find and verify. Even if you do find it, it’s possible that just an HR clerk is looking at the letter, not the HR administrator themselves. Either way, just keep it professional and you’ll be fine.
  • Everywhere I’ve read says to NOT put a picture of yourself anywhere in your application package, including your letter of introduction. This is to avoid biases of any kind.
  • If you used a template for your resume, then use a matching one for your cover letter. Personally, I purchased a matching resume and cover letter off of Etsy years back and it’s worked great. There is debate between keeping it all black/white or adding color. I split the difference and have mine dark teal accents with black text and white background.
  • Add your full name, contact info (phone, email, address, and any EDUCATION RELATED social media handles you have)
  • The date goes at the top, along with the school’s address (if it’s a district pool, put the district’s address…if your letter is going to multiple districts at a job fair, omit the address completely)

Here is how I recommend you go about your letter:

Sample Cover Letter

Try not to worry about this one too much. I am of the opinion that this letter is very much a formality. Try to make it nice, but don’t haunt yourself over it. Write it, edit it, add specific things for different districts as you apply to them, and move on.

Writing a Good Letter of Introduction for a Teaching Job

Your first step to a rewarding career as an educator starts with securing a teaching position. One of the most important parts of your application for a teaching position is your letter of introduction. If you have never written a letter of introduction, or this is your first time writing one for the field of education, you may not be sure where to start. No worries! This article will cover the basic components of a letter of introduction for a teaching position and some things you should avoid doing in your letter.

The Role of the Letter of Introduction in Getting a Teaching Job

A letter of introduction is a letter that introduces yourself and your qualifications to a potential employer and is a key component of your application when you are seeking a teaching job. This letter is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the school and explain why you would be the ideal candidate for the position. Along with your resume, credentials, letters of recommendation, and application packet, the letter of introduction is one of the key documents that a hiring panel will look at. In fact, and especially if you are a new teacher or new to the field of education, your letter of introduction could arguably carry the most weight in influencing a hiring manager to interview you.

Once you have achieved an interview, be prepared to talk more in-depth with a hiring panel regarding your letter of introduction. Often, members of a panel will look closely at your letter and take notes prior to the interview. They may have questions regarding your experience, motivation, and other factors you wrote about in your letter. You should always enter an interview with the expectation that you will be asked to elaborate on specific points in your letter of introduction.

What Makes a Good Letter of Introduction?

In order to write a good letter of introduction, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. Below, we will cover important components of a good letter of introduction.

Specific v. Generic

First, make sure that you tailor your letter specifically to the school that you are applying to. Generic letters will not make a good impression. Your heading should include the school or district and the open position to which you are applying for. You should begin your letter by stating that you are applying to the specific school or district for consideration for the specific open position. A hiring panel can easily tell the difference between a candidate who took the time to tailor their letter for their organization versus a candidate who used a generic letter of introduction. Tailoring your letter to the organization shows that you are willing to take the extra steps necessary to contribute to the organization itself, and can often set you apart from other candidates.

Highlight Your Why

When you’re writing a letter of introduction for a teaching job, it’s important to highlight your “why.” Why do you want to be a teacher? What are your motivations? Why are you drawn to this particular school or district? Answering these questions in your letter can help you stand out from the competition and make a strong case for why you’re the best candidate for the job.

Sell Yourself

Highlight your most relevant qualifications and experiences in your letter. Be sure to mention any special skills or training that you have that would make you a good fit for the job. Describe your qualifications for the job. Include information on your teaching experience, education, and any special skills or credentials you have. You do not need to go overboard here, but it should be clear to the hiring committee why you are qualified.

Proofread, Proofread, Proofread

A well-written letter of introduction can be undone by careless mistakes like typos or grammatical errors. Be sure to proofread your letter before you send it off. After all, you are applying for a role where you will expect your students to produce the same quality of work. It is important that you model the way and that the hiring committee sees that.

Be Enthusiastic

Finally, express your enthusiasm for the position and show why you would be the best candidate for the job. You want the hiring committee to feel your passion through your writing.

By following these tips, you can write a strong letter of introduction that will help you get the teaching job that you want.

General Structure of a Letter of Introduction

Now that you have a better idea of what to include in your letter of introduction, here is a basic outline of how to include everything:

Paragraph #1

Start by introducing yourself and explain why you are applying for the job. This paragraph should hook the person reading it. After this paragraph, whoever reads it should have a good understanding of your why.

Paragraph #2

In the next paragraph, describe your qualifications for the job. Include information on your teaching experience, education, and any special skills or credentials you have.

Paragraph #3

In the final paragraph, explain why you would be a good fit for the position and what you can bring to the school. Be sure to thank the employer for their time and consideration.

What Not to Include in a Letter of Introduction

When you sit down to write a letter of introduction for a teaching job, there are certain things you should be considerate of. Here’s what to consider avoiding in your letter of introduction:

Don’t Make it Too Long

A letter of introduction should be just that – an introduction. It’s not the time to go into great detail about your qualifications or experience. Keep it short and to the point.

Don’t Ramble

Along the same lines, don’t let your letter of introduction turn into a rambling, stream-of-consciousness type of thing. Stick to the main points you want to make, and be sure each sentence serves a purpose.

Don’t Get Too Personal

A letter of introduction is not the time to share your life story or get into all the nitty-gritty details about yourself. Keep it professional and focused on why you’re the right person for the job.

Why a Good Letter of Recommendation Matters

A good letter of introduction can make a big difference when you’re applying for a teaching job. By following the tips above, you can make sure your letter makes a positive impression and helps you get the job you want.

How to Write an A+ Letter of Introduction to Communicate Passion

Writing an excellent letter of introduction will help to get your education resume selected and read. Landing an interview is the first big step to securing a new teaching or administration position.

While your resume needs to be strong and well-written to intrigue the audience, you also need a perfect letter of introduction to get your resume read in the first place.

Writing an A+ letter of introduction requires replacing the formulaic job cover letter text with prose to convey your true passion for teaching. In my experience as a teacher resume coach, the introduction that will attract the hiring manager's attention shares several components. By following these cover letter writing tips you should move towards landing a wonderful teaching post.

Write a Letter of Introduction to Communicate Passion

Ultimate Tips for Writing a Teacher Letter of Introduction

The letter of introduction writing tips would apply to many roles and job titles in education. So whether you are a primary teacher, fresher teacher, veteran teacher, teacher assistant, instructional coach, curriculum developer or the superintendent of the school district these tips should provide help. 

Show Your Passion for Teaching

Administrators are looking for teachers who are passionate about teaching because they make the best teachers. Anyone can write a simple cover letter, but an attention-grabbing cover letter that gets you noticed should show your personality and love for teaching.

Write a List of Keywords That Show Passion

Use exciting language (not scientific words) to describe your qualifications. Start by writing a list of keywords, skills and experiences you feel communicate and demonstrate your passion for teaching.

Here are some examples of personality attributes: empathetic, generous, patient, responsive, confident, committed, enthusiastic, energetic, resourceful, industrious, productive, innovative, and inventive.

Bullet points:

  • Empathetic educator dedicated to nurturing and developing the whole person
  • Highly responsive to individual learner needs (e.g., develop customized learning programs for each student) 
  • Enthusiastically introduced three new science lab learning programs, receiving unprecedented funding for all projects
  • Committed and energetic teacher who organizes at least two outdoor classes a week to connect students with the natural world

These examples taken from an education program specialist cover letter and special education coordinator cover letter provide important evidence of soft skills. Points 3, 4 and 5 are the most impactful because they provide examples of what is being claimed.

It doesn't hurt to learn more about how to use teacher keywords and teaching skills in a cover letter and resume.

Show Value in Your Concise Cover Letter

Once you have developed phrasing that pulls in the reader by communicating your ardent passion for your teaching job, you want to avoid watering down these key points in an overly wordy letter. The structure of a cover letter is as important as its content. The more concise you are the higher impact you will make.  

Ideally, it should contain a maximum of three paragraphs, and it must fit onto one page while allowing room for your signature at the bottom of the page. Pay as much attention to writing your teacher letter of introduction as you do to the resume. Many times, people spend days or even weeks perfecting their resume only to produce a cover letter that was thrown together in a few minutes.

Communicate Confidence

A teacher who is happy and fulfilled in his/her teaching position exudes confidence. Use positive and action keywords to create an upbeat tone. Providing examples of your claims demonstrates your effectiveness. If you have introduced a new reading app or teaching technique to the classroom, provide examples and/or quantitative evidence of its effectiveness.

Be Truthful and Honest

A letter of introduction that shows passion must be heartfelt and genuine. Do not get swept away by your passion for teaching and start exaggerating your claim to fame. A letter that provides a truthful and positive picture of your experience and skills will come across as authentic, and ideally move the reader.

Match the School District's Requirements

View our packages and pricing

Passion is what we call a 'soft skill.' Soft skills can be harder to demonstrate than, say, hard sales skills, in which numbers provide evidence of your capabilities. As the above keyword bullet points demonstrate, there are many ways to provide evidence of your passion for teaching. You will be less convincing if you provide an isolated list of passionate skills:

Generous, empathetic, compassionate, sympathetic teacher.

Compare the above statement with the following:

Empathetic primary teacher who introduced after school learning programs to focus on individual student's special learning needs.

  • Produced a 10% improvement in reading and writing skills
  • Achieved a 15% increase in class attendance records  

Think of passionate keywords as adjectives and adverbs that can infuse some passion into your teaching duties and achievements.

Ignite Reader's Interest

Make the hiring authority want to learn more about you by reading your resume. Researching the school and district will help you stimulate interest by targeting what your readership is looking for in a teacher. Create a new application letter for each teaching job for which you apply. This allows you to customize the letter for each particular school. Try to include information that shows you have researched the school and know something about it.

For example, you may be giving little attention to teaching programs and techniques the school is currently investing in developing. Did your passion for this program help you produce district-leading results? Tell the school upfront how you can help them improve the performance of their program. This is a good example of the benefits of personalizing each cover letter and resume.

Use the Hiring Person's Name

Whenever possible, it's important to address the cover letter to an individual rather than "To Whom it May Concern:" or "Dear Sir." Proper cover letter etiquette requires that you always use the last name: 'Dear Mrs. Smith.'

If you can't find a person's name to address the cover letter, you could use: Dear Hiring Manager: Dear Recruitment Manager: Dear Hiring Committee: Dear Human Resource Team: Dear Recruitment Representative: Dear Human Resource Director:

Always show respect by using 'Dr.' for a person with a doctorate, if they commonly use the title in their name. For example, Dr. John Smith, Dean of ABC School should always be addressed as 'Dear Dr. Smith.' While he will likely call you by your first name in an interview, always maintain decorum and use 'Dr. Smith' in written and oral communications.  

If you feel your passion for teaching is not demonstrated in your daily teaching job, an education career coach can help you become the teacher you have always envisioned yourself. Often times, teachers feel constrained by prescribed teaching program and curriculum and can benefit from thinking creatively and out-of-the-box.

Attention to Detail - Dot Your I's

It is a waste of time to infuse your cover letter with your passion for teaching and then send a photocopied letter and signature.

Before sending your cover letter:

  • Always sign every one of your letters of introduction individually. Never send a copy of the letter. School administrators can tell when you've used a standard letter instead of writing a new cover letter. Sending a copy will give an employer the idea that you are lazy and do not care enough to produce an original document.
  • Triple check for spelling and grammatical errors. A teaching position calls for impeccable literacy skills; therefore, you need to make certain that your cover letter is always checked for errors.
  • Review it, check it, check it again, and then check it once more for information and errors.  Make sure at least two other people proofread it.

5 Resume Cover Letters for Teachers 

Start with structure: how to format your teacher cover letter, what else to include in your teacher cover letter, teacher cover letter faqs.

If you’re researching teacher cover letter tips and best practices, chances are you are either in the market for a new job or at least beginning to think ahead to your next opportunity.

As you’re well aware, your cover letter is a vitally important messaging document that must be thoughtfully crafted to A) catch the eye of potential employers/recruiters and B) entice them to learn more about you by reviewing your resume.

Well, you’ve come to the right place because — when it comes to teacher resume and cover letter advice — we’ve got you covered.

Designed to apply to both new and seasoned educators alike, this post serves as a guide to writing an effective teacher cover letter that will help you land your next job.

We’ll share key tips and best practices, along with several teacher cover letter examples that you can use for inspiration — plus, a downloadable template you can use to write an A+ cover letter!

LOOKING FOR TEACHING JOBS?

Before we get into any how-tos, it helps to know what the end result should look like. Below are five examples of winning teacher cover letters. 

1. This example offers guidance for the first-time teacher, since it can be difficult to write a cover letter without much experience to describe! This letter emphasizes volunteer work, student teaching and college experience. 

introduction letter teacher job

2. Here, the applicant listed out some of her experiences into bullet points. This is a wise formatting trick, since it’s likely the hiring manager looks at multiple cover letters a day, so the bulleted list makes it easier — and faster — to read.

introduction letter teacher job

3. Though it may not apply to every teaching position, some hiring managers like to see applicants back up their claims with hard data. This history teacher offers quantifiable proof of her abilities in her previous position.

4. What it lacks in volume it makes up for in succinct, to-the-point text. This cover letter says just enough while leaving the reader wanting to know more. Be careful with creating generic cover letter “templates” for yourself though — the content of this letter could apply to a wide range of roles and schools, so you’ll want to customize the details to each new position.

introduction letter teacher job

5. For a clearer breakdown of the essential parts of a cover letter, this example from Liveabout.com highlights where the applicant mentions her skill set, her unique value proposition and her desire for the position.

introduction letter teacher job

A teacher cover letter is much the same as a cover letter for any other position — the structure is fairly standard, with the content customized to the role and your experience. A cover letter should be one page, no more than four paragraphs, easily scannable and include the best way to reach you. The reader should not have to look very hard to find everything they need to know about you. 

The best teacher cover letters have the following components: 

  • Your contact information: Provide your name, email address, phone number and where you live (just city and state is fine).
  • The school’s contact information: Though you may not be sending your cover letter and resume by mail, this confirms your intention to apply to a specific school. 
  • Date: The date you’re submitting your application materials.
  • Salutation: A professional greeting that addresses the hiring manager by name. It’s customary to preface their name with “Dear.”
  • Introduction: This is a one-or two-sentence statement that introduces you and expresses your intention to apply for the open position.
  • Body paragraph 1: A brief paragraph describing your relevant professional experience, achievements, skills and education. 
  • Body paragraph 2: A brief paragraph explaining your interest in and fitness for the role for which you’re applying.
  • Closing paragraph: Once more, a brief closing statement that expresses your desire for further conversation and invites the hiring manager to contact you with any questions.
  • Your signature: You may simply write your name or, for a more personal touch, you can add a real signature — hand-written or digitally placed. 

Why all the brevity? Hiring managers likely sift through dozens of applications a day, especially at competitive schools. You want your materials to stand out for their scannability, so that the reader can see whether you would be the right fit within just a few seconds. 

If you include all of the components above, you will have an excellent chance of capturing any hiring manager’s attention and (hopefully) starting a conversation with them. 

While most cover letters follow a similar format, with the introduction, body content and conclusion all containing relatively the same kind of information, the body paragraphs are where you can really highlight your uniqueness. The portion of your cover letter where you describe your skills and experience is your oyster — without repeating what’s on your resume, consider including any of the following elements:  

  • Include teaching specialties such as subject expertise , special education curriculum design and even extracurricular responsibilities. 
  • When it comes to your education, you’ll want to note whether you have your master’s degree in education . Having an M.Ed. does not necessarily equate to teaching experience, but many schools will prioritize candidates with graduate degrees over those with only bachelor’s degrees . 
  • Mention soft skills as well as hard teaching skills, such as organization, patience, adaptability, etc.
  • Mention any relevant training or certifications. If you can point to a certificate in a specific teaching method or school leadership training , you may be considered for other open positions.
  • Educational equity and inclusion is critical to school and student success. Even if you don’t have experience teaching units on disability activism or racial justice , expressing a commitment to learning about and teaching students of different backgrounds is a highly valued quality.
  • Include related work you’ve done outside the classroom , such as tutoring, non-teaching work or volunteer experience that involves working with children.
  • However, please note that teachers cannot freely share specific class or student data. It is your responsibility to adhere to school, state and federal restrictions concerning student privacy .
  • Teachers are never done learning. Expressing a commitment to ongoing education and professional development in your cover letter will communicate that you are passionate about developing your craft. 

Each item should only take one to two sentences to explain. For scannability, you may want to format your skills and experience into bullet points.

Some teaching applicants include a postscript in their cover letters following their signature. While this is not necessary, it is a fine place to put something that doesn’t fit naturally into the body of your cover letter. However, only include a postscript if absolutely necessary ( “By the way, I remember competing against Sacred Heart’s epic debate club back in 1998 — if I couldn’t beat them then, joining them now would be the next best thing!” ). 

Your postscript should add value or personality, or be something the hiring manager absolutely needs to know, otherwise it can look extraneous and unprofessional. 

Tips to Make Your Cover Letter Stand Out

Think of your teaching cover letter like an elevator pitch. Pretend you have 30 seconds to “sell” your skills and enthusiasm for the role — how do you “hook” the reader? 

Before you set pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, be sure to research the school you’re applying to. It’s generally good practice to customize your cover letter for every job application, and that means knowing something about the school, department or role you’d be filling. It’s quite easy to tell if an applicant is just copy-and-pasting the same cover letter for multiple job applications. 

For example, is the school known for its competitive mathematics team? Does it have an award-winning drama department? Are its standardized test scores consistently in your state’s 90th percentile? If the role you’re applying for relates in any way to the school’s differentiating factor, be sure to acknowledge it in your introduction. 

Here are some other ways to bump your application to the top of the pile. 

  • Keep it brief: No one wants to read your master’s thesis in a cover letter. Leave the longer explanations of your experience and teaching philosophy for your interview. 
  • Accentuate the positive: Your application materials should not only convey why you want the position, but how your unique abilities and assets could benefit the school and its students. Emphasize why you’d be a great match with specific reasons — but don’t brag.
  • Keep it personal: There are plenty of great cover letter templates and examples out there, but they should only serve as suggestions for what yours will be. This is your story to tell, not anyone else’s. Expressing your passion for teaching will position you as a dedicated, valuable asset to any school.
  • Proofread: As a teacher, this should be a no-brainer — but don’t be the one teacher who forgets to proofread! Take your time, re-read and ask a colleague to give your cover letter a once-over before submitting your application. Many people treat their cover letter as an afterthought, but remember that it’s the cover to the rest of your application. 

To use another teaching comparison, remember that your cover letter counts for a significant portion of your “grade.” As Christian Eilers writes for Zety , “That means treating it like a crucial final exam instead of an inconsequential pop quiz.”

How long should my teacher cover letter be?

As a general rule, keep your cover letter brief — no one wants to read your master’s thesis as part of your application. Your cover letter should have a short intro, an explanation of your experience and skills, any significant accomplishments, awards or certificates, and a short conclusion summarizing your interest in the position. Always end with an invitation for the hiring manager to contact you, and sign your name (a signed letter is always a nice touch, even if it’s a digital signature). Leave the longer explanations of your experience and teaching philosophy for your interview.

How can I add data to my cover letter?

If you’re making any claims about your effectiveness in the classroom, try back them up with numbers. For example, you may want to say that you were responsible for increasing biology testing scores by 30%, or that attendance improved by 65% while you were a teacher. If you’re currently a teacher considering other schools, be sure to keep track of your own class’s performance so you can cite these metrics in future cover letters. Please note, however, that it is your responsibility to adhere to school, state and federal restrictions concerning specific student data and student privacy .

A good letter of introduction can be a valuable tool in making new connections, whether for personal, professional, or business purposes. In this article, we’ll explore how to write a perfect letter of introduction.

To begin, it’s important to understand the difference between a letter of introduction and other forms of introductory communication. An introduction letter isn’t a cover letter – rather, it serves to establish relationships and spark interest.

Difference Between Introduction Letter and Cover Letter

An introduction letter is not a cover letter. While both documents are used to make introductions, they serve different purposes. An introduction letter is typically written to introduce yourself, your business, or a third party, whereas a cover letter is used when applying for a job or sending a proposal. In an introduction letter, you should briefly highlight your background, accomplishments, and goals, while in a cover letter, you should focus on how your skills and experiences relate to a specific job opportunity.

Introduction Letter vs. Letter of Recommendation

An introduction letter is also not a letter of recommendation. A letter of recommendation is written by someone who knows you well, like a former employer, teacher, or mentor, to vouch for your abilities and accomplishments. It often includes specific examples of your work and contributions, as well as why the person is recommending you for a certain position or opportunity.

An introduction letter is written by you or on behalf of an individual or company to make an initial connection with others. While you might mention your skills and experience in an introduction letter, it doesn’t have the same weight or credibility as a letter of recommendation, since it lacks the endorsements from others.

The Full Guide to Reference Letters [Best Templates]

  • An introduction letter is used to introduce yourself, your company, or a third party to others.
  • A cover letter is used when applying for a job or submitting a proposal, focusing on how your skills and experiences relate to the specific opportunity.
  • A letter of recommendation is a formal endorsement of your abilities and accomplishments, written by someone who knows you well.

Remember to use the appropriate type of letter for each situation and adhere to the specific guidelines and tone for each document: this will ensure your communication is effective and appropriate, increasing your chances of making a positive impression.

Part 1 How To Write a Letter of Introduction

Format and structure.

To write an effective letter of introduction, start with proper formatting. Use a standard font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and set the font size to 12. Stick to a formal tone, and use single spacing with a space between paragraphs.

Greeting and Opening Remarks

Begin your letter with a professional greeting. If you know the recipient’s name, use “Dear [Name].” If not, use “Dear [Title]” or “To Whom It May Concern.” Your opening remarks should briefly explain the purpose of the letter and introduce yourself or the person you are introducing.

Related: How to Start a Letter (and Mistakes to Avoid)

In the main body of the letter, provide details about yourself or the person you are introducing. Focus on the key qualifications, skills, and experiences that are relevant to the recipient. This is also an ideal place to mention any mutual connections or shared interests.

  • Keep the paragraphs short and concise.
  • Highlight your achievements or expertise.
  • Use bullet points or tables to enumerate qualifications or experiences, if necessary.

Closing and Sign Off

To close the letter, express your gratitude to the recipient for their time and attention. Offer your assistance if they have further questions or would like additional information.
