Writing a Winning Cover Letter

A cover letter is a way to sell your skills and experiences to a school district or agency that your resume and application just don't provide. The critical part of developing a winning cover letter is to make it personal to your experiences, skills, and the job you want to have. A word of caution before you look at the samples below. These are intended to provide you an idea in terms of the kind of content you might consider including. Do not use the sample cover letters as a template for your cover letter. Your letter must be unique to you and set you apart from the other applicants.
These links are just a few of the resources available on the web related to cover letters. If you would like to view more samples and resources Google "cover letters for teaching jobs". One final thought, remember to use spell check. A few misspellings could cost you an interview.
