Think of the cover letter as a promotional advertisement of your candidacy. The first impression of you as a candidate will be based on your ability to express yourself and stimulate interest in your background and qualifications. A cover letter’s goal is to highlight your knowledge, skills and related experience and establish yourself as a viable candidate. Your cover letter should show how your qualifications meet the needs of the school and its students. This is your opportunity to distinguish yourself from the other candidates (background in the arts, ability to coach, fluency in a language, etc.)  \nThere are two basic types of cover letters: application (responses to available openings) and broadcast (general inquiry about available openings) . Letters should be addressed to a specific individual. Try to find the name and title of the school district contact before writing. Hiring officials are often listed in directories, available by phoning the school district, or by checking online information about the district. Make sure you have the correct spelling of the person’s name. If you cannot obtain a name, address the letter “Dear Administrator”.  \nThe first tip in writing a cover letter is to review information about the job and the school and attempt to address key points relating specifically to that position, school and district. Next, consider your own qualification and select those that most closely fit the requirements of the position. What are your strongest selling points? What makes you especially qualified for that position?  \nCover letters should never be more than one page and should not repeat your entire resume.  \nGUIDELINES  \n• Since most cover letters get only a minute or two of consideration, you must grab the reader’s interest immediately!  \n• Always customize your letter for each position.  \n• Appearances count so pay attention to format. Proofread and have someone else proofread!  \n• Mistakes could cause your immediate rejection.  \n• Use the same contact information heading for resume and cover letter.  \n• Avoid beginning too many sentences with “I”.  \n• Use professional language without too much jargon.  \n• Demonstrate your abilities with specific examples. Show how your qualifications meet the needs of the school. Highlight relevant experiences, appropriate training and specific qualifications.  \n• Use your own words; you do not want your cover letter to sound like it was copied from a book or the internet.  \nCOVER LETTER FORMAT FOR TEACHERS  \nName  \nYour present street address  \nCity, State Zip Code  \nTelephone email  \nDate  \nContact Person’s Name Title  \nSchool or District Street Address City, State, Zip Code  \nDear Administrator (or Mr., Ms., or Dr. if you know the person’s name):  \nFirst sentence/paragraph: State why you are writing: specify the position for which you are applying and whether you saw an advertisement or heard about the position or school through a referral or by reputation.  \nSecond paragraph: Begin with a sen","cbCailQkypt3fc9l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailQkypt3fc9l","pdf",90618,6,"English","# Effective Cover Letters\n## Guidelines\n# Cover Letter Format for Teachers\n# Sample Cover Letters\n# Cover Letter Guidelines for Educational Leadership Students","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of a cover letter when applying for a teaching job?\",\"answer\":\"A well written cover letter highlights knowledge, skills, and related experience to show fit for the school’s needs.
